But you might want to review history. 1835, Gonzales, Texas territory. The authorities wanted to confiscate the big gun that protected that colony. You know what the people said? Come and take it. Because they were willing to fight. Or their freedom. And their guns. So are we. Come and take it if you want it. Come and take it if you think you can. Come and take it but I want it. You'll have to cry it from a cold, dead man. We want the freedom that God, so you best not cross that. If you want this gun, you gotta come through us and take it. One shot at a time. Just like Gonzales, we're keeping our guns. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But Tyrant flavored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On the land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken SACE's number and traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for what you'll fight to save? Do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright as Iowoki vanished in the midst from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as Tyrant trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, Jill the Land of the Fright? And good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report, Ivar Kornky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest Northeast East and Central Well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on Liberty Tree radio dot 4mg.com Indiana Freedom Talk radio dot com in memoriam and we miss spike. We will always remember him along with AM&FM micro stations, AM&FM conventional stations, and CB base stations, including Channel 31 test and 31 standard. We're also on UltraNet Hallmark, in Golden Spike Technologies east and west of the Mississippi, along with Alaska, and Satellite Technologies. So I want to say thank you to our rebroadcasters there. It's a cool day again for all of our friends. I want to say good afternoon in the lower 49 which includes a great state of Jefferson along with Conus and Then the two states the two outlined territories and the clock right now it is 509 p.m. Eastern Standard Time It is weapons Wednesday should be the fifth pretty sure fourth fourth or fifth Don't check that. We're out on the road and running all over creation. Actually, three truckloads and we're still not quite done. Get ready for the war, as they say. But for everybody out there, again, it is the 12th year of open-sabien socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2012 Old Earth calendar. I'm giving it all she's got, Captain! I just got a, maybe missing a finger, but I know you're a miracle when it comes to engineering. and 2020, year of betrayal, year of battle. Hey, what the hell? Let's go for it. It is weapons Wednesday. Now face plasma rifle, 40 watts range, whoosie, 9 millimeters of copy. Hey, buddy, we only got the 10 watts face plasma rifles. That's good enough. I would take three. Anyway, we don't have plasma rifles, but we do have a lot of other cool stuff out there that we obviously can integrate into militia and defense formations. Most important is that you do get a chance Take a look at the deals on oh wow I'm not talking semi-automatic rifles big but bolt action scoped weapon systems if you hit them once in the crotch with a 300 windbag it pretty well blows everything right out their bum hole and There's a hole there big enough. Well have you ever said a deer with a 300 windbag you think the spike heads gonna fare better Yeah, kind of embarrassing when that happens. So here's the idea. Methodical and hit it once and it really isn't going to get up ever again is probably a good thing. So we might want to take into consideration again that while you may, of course, have to make that investment, you do need a light rifle of some kind. You're not assault rifles, they're light rifles. Whatever you're going to do, any 14, AR 15, AK 47, or AK and AKM and whatever caliber slash chambering, remember you can get AKs, 223 slash 556. 5.45x39, 7.62x39, but if you're looking just at 2.23 weapons, there are a good smattering out there on the base end, pretty reasonably priced. Little and interesting. On the upper end, oh my god, I could have bought five of the other rifles for the price of one of these. Looks like I really did need outfit five people, so. It's a pure budget and again, personal interest. If you're by yourself, size the limit. But if you have four or five people out fit, then you have to kind of share the wealth. And unless you're personally extremely stupid, hey, go for it, dudes. We're not, they don't get to stop whatever you're doing. The more weapons we get out there, the happier we are, and I don't care who the hell it is that buys them right now, just get them out of the warehouses, get them out of the inventory, and out amongst the population. It is especially critical that we do so right now. With the bolt-action rifles and Savage, of course Savage has been doing some major work for more than a few decades now to come up with some really cool quote-unquote tactical rifles, but they certainly are nothing more really than a very precision scoped sniper rifle slash oh wait a minute I'm sorry hunting rifle. The new family of rifles they have have gotten a little lighter. They still run the whole gambit of Standard heavy calibers that you want 30 out 6 that's not really heavy but not by today's standards it is standards it is I've kind of joked about this for the longest time that the grossly overpowered 30 out 6 me over here by the water cooler yap in the back yeah I want the grossly overpowered rifle which one is that again? Oh you want it underpowered? No, no I don't I want it to be grossly overpowered I want to be able to beat the enemy I want to be able to pull it through a wall and still kill him. Hot sex is good for that. Actually, it'll go through a tree. Well hell, it'll go through cars. And it goes in the two people inside and out the other door. So I guess it's not a bad thing if you're in a fighting situation, right? And by the way, everybody's wearing a putter. So I just want to go up in caliber. You really would, wouldn't you? Well, sure, he's built for that, you know, that two-two-three, five-five-six, and sixty-two-by-thirty-nine threat. No, they will admit. And I would point something out. On that note, I'm gonna say, right now, the big spec in Potty Armor is to say that we built the new stuff and it will stop M2AP 30.6. Now, let me point something out about that really interesting thought. No army is carrying 30.6 AP right now. You do understand that, right? When cop shops or cop pushing companies, you know, that are trying to sell to the cops, would post that up. Understand that the only people that could possibly be thinking about fighting with an armor on is you, the American people. Why? Well, because there are no .30-06 M2AP rifles in the hands of any of these cop shops. They're not carrying Browning machine guns. They're not carrying BARs. They don't have grams. But all of you do. So you see how even the armor companies are selling to their market black uniform, knuckle-dragging, shoe-sized IQ, bald-headed? roided up crazy town people you know look this will defend against 30 out 6 m2ap you know yeah because those evil Americans have it why aren't you and i forget the first quarter of the cop shop people yeah they are and that's exactly how they look at themselves by the way so you are the perceived enemy and they're desperately trying to find armor that's going to stop m2ap 30 out 6 which is pretty much in our hands nothing Now I would have to comment that this is where we get into the other conversation about why like 300 with mag. Oh, yeah, that's really cool. Oh, so millimeter Remington mag. That's really cool. Oh, what about 338? Oh, that's really cool. What about M2? Any one of the loads? Oh, yeah. Well, then you see that armor that was supposed to top the F2, AP, 30 out 6. It's not going to stop the half inch round coming through. So let's remind everybody that you always want to have a fine armed team in the field. A lot of light rifles because those are your spatter support guns. Anything you want the way of the shoulder gun because you're malicious you don't really have any restrictions in the late gun. Does they have a key on any cable of authorized equipment? However, having a bunch of 30 out of 6, 300 wind mag, 7mm Remington, 8mm Remington, Uh, M2, 50 caliber, means that, oh, that didn't punch through. I'll try a bigger one. Boom. Oh, it knocked over. He gets back up. Oh, use the half inch on him. He's got the good armor. What? Buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh. Oh yeah, go. Or no, just boom. Now you don't have to waste a whole lot of rounds. Why would you do that? So anyway, fact of the matter is that there are a number of really nice bolts and by the way, there are semi-automatic rifles in the center fire big bore, I would remind you. We've talked about the AT-6. We've also discussed, for instance, the 300 WIN and by the way, there are rifles in 460 Wetherby Magnum that are semi-automatic. Think about that one. Now that's rather fun in that you've got something that really really really echoes echoes echoes when you point it point it when it's somebody to look down down the barrel barrel barrel In this case if it's semi-automatic and it was something that big it's oh my god That's beating the hell out of my shoulder, but it's still fun a lot of fun and useful So for all of you out there if you're looking at these guns and somebody says what about and then they fill in the blank with a lot of extra numbers and I need a lot of numbers. I mean like, let's fall six zero whether be Magnum. Okay, as I was going to go, only $2,600 for the rifle. Oh, how many dirty out sticks can I buy for that price? Well, I'll limit you by the Axis rifles. The Axis guns are good. On the notice I'm using the Schwarzenegger accent for them. I'm talking about the Axis rifles made by Savage. Yes, that's true. So anyway, if you're looking at those types of weapons. Consider again, can you handle it? Well, first of all, does your budget handle it? Because you're going to have to pay for, and in fact, for pure munitions. You're not going to find it in the enemy's hands. Unless you pick certain calibers. We'll talk about that more in a minute. But otherwise, what you're looking at, what you're looking at is a situation where you're going to be having to completely purchase all of the munitions you're going to load into the chamber and pull the trigger on. Okay? So, uh oh, we're going to do this. We are going to go to music break for a minute, a little early here. Ed's got something lined up and the reason for that is I have to switch technologies. Since I'm overlapping from mobile, I don't really like this form, to ground line communications in a moment here. So, for everybody out there, again, www.lubitreeradio.4mg.com. That's the location. Again for the eighth regimental combat team worst day since yesterday. We'll be right back More than hit that was launched to sink and I sell the bride the worst day Yes, there's one I've said is that the dream pad now lay in bed? My whip to the door it's been the worst day Mr. President, members of Congress, you've been making a lot of noise about taking our guns away. But you might want to review history. 1835, Gonzales, Texas territory. The authorities wanted to confiscate the big gun that protected that colony. You know what the people said? Men take it because they were willing to fight for their freedom and their guns. So are we. And for everybody it is Weapons Wednesday. And I was right, it's the fifth. Okay, so we're cool there. And again, it has been a very busy, busy week and here it is only Wednesday. Actually, we're heading towards the end of Wednesday. If we keep it up, the hours keep marching by. A couple of things very quickly. And again, good things, as a matter of fact. Last night we mentioned this. There's a lot of other work out there, Tazewell County. uh... last night of course had open discussion that's what for tuesday i'll read the article again first of all this is news five w c y b out of virginia and uh... this is dated for tuesday in february fourth twenty twenty so if you want to find the article the title is taswell county to have open discussion about the exiting virginia at meeting on tuesday which was last night About the time we're doing the program, they were actually talking about this. So anyway, Tazewell County, Virginia, after citizens reached out about VEXIT, the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors meeting will have an open discussion about the county leaving the Commonwealth and becoming part of West Virginia. News 5 was told by the county office that Vice Chairman Tom Lester requested that the discussion be added to the agenda because several citizens have contacted him about vex it. There are no plans currently for Tazewell County to leave Virginia, but Tuesday's agenda item should allow for citizens to voice their opinions. West Virginia Governor Jim Justice, Republican and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. both have urged unhappy Virginia counties to secede. The push for secession has come after Democrats took control of both the Virginia House and Senate. The Tazewell County Board of Supervisors meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday, which was last night. So if you're looking for the article, there are other follow-up articles on the subject. I haven't even gone through all of them yet. I want to say thank you to... I'll hold on here. Who actually, forgive me, I got to give credit where credit's due, to Gloria and also Sandy. So Gloria and Sandy, I want to say thank you for sending that heads up. You heard part of what we were talking about last night, this one is the same article, but there are a couple others that you found and that kind of links them all together. So I'll see what we can do to finish those up and go through them maybe during the hour between the, you know, two o'clock, the two-hour block in the eight o'clock evening. We'll see. But you can do the research yourself, and that's Tazwell County, which I, the more I'm seeing of what's happening with Tazwell County, the more likely they are going to be targeted by Richmond for an attack, okay? If the sheriff and everybody else is on the same page, it would at least be somewhat honest. We'll see what happens. If they are genuine, then what you've got is a very bad situation for the bad guys, and they're a point man, slash, banner carrier for all the rest that are motivated so remember how your enemy thinks they're going to try to attack the leadership the management mechanism that they perceive this is a grassroots effort so the problem they've got there is it will fail and but it will get everybody pissed and might even get a good shooting war started if they decide to come out do a snatching grab slash black hawk down kind of scenario where they're gonna they're gonna extract all of you whether they think are the problems in the local government county and of course the township so expect that to continue to develop and because of that be ready to fight and minute men should be ready in the virginia just as they were 1775 there's no difference with regard to the situation right now now another thing I'm going to point something out. Okay, everybody did a little bit of a, you know, there was a little bit of a fluster about the stupid bowl, okay? Here's my attitude on the stupid bowl, and it's been that way for quite some time. I don't care what shenanigans they try to play. The characters have been anti-gun, frothing at the mouth, left is, they've been doing all kinds of garbage to push the, from the fake kosher left side as opposed to the fake kosher right side. They're playing the fake kosher left side for the moment. They're all the same quick together on this. the third team, okay? But sell all your NFL stuff. Get rid of it. Find somebody who's crazed town, hardcore, rah, rah, rah, rah, and dump the stuff on them for a good price. Sell your stuff. Sell the junk. Don't spend any more money on the NFL garbage, football, or anything, any sports. period is mostly free just don't buy the other junk that goes along with it uh... the only way i end up with that kind of liquid to be as we were here to buy a nike nope but i'm wearing a pair of nike throwaway somebody else uh... the brand new pair shoes from a state sale and uh... mother stupid price i know they are would normally not by them If they were Adidas, I'd have bought Adidas. If they were whatever, because they were somebody's estate shoes. They fit very well. When they're gone, they're gone, even though I like the cut. I'm not going to buy another one from Nike. I'm just going to watch for other shoes that are beaters for what I do when I'm working on the projects I am. Big thing is do they fit. That's all I'm looking at. But as far as going on buying Nike, cold day in hell never happened again. Never. Not that I ever did in the first place, because I really had a bad feeling about them, and now it's pretty well confirmed. Same is true with what's going on with football with fool's ball fool's ball needs to be dumped the stupor ball turned out to be just that And it's sad. I know because we'll work. It's America. We got it No, we don't need to take it back if the wrong people own it you you're not gonna get it back All the pigs that are in there are all kosher mafia types. They hate the country. They're all globalists. They drink blood. God knows what else they do as far as being the demonical, you know, Babylonian, uh, uh, Kabbalists that they are. They're all a bunch of turds to begin with. They wouldn't be doing what they're doing, okay, as far as the stuff that we've seen them kicking in. So let's get used to the idea that we're going to have to get rid of the problem. And one of it is, one of them is the gladiatorial space, uh, sports thing is going to be gone and we're going to be back to regular, you know, regular low end sports. which should be. Not enough just to win. Although there is some cool things against Weapons Wednesday with regard to football armor, I will remind you again, football armor is made, a lot of it is made out of Kevlar. Now there's two types, the striated fibrous material that you're familiar with, Kevlar panels and Kevlar plates for military application, and the helmets like the PASGAT, the MISH, whatever, were the compressed striated Kevlar. However, there is another version which is just as good for at least a lot of protection and it is literally just cast Kevlar, infused Kevlar. It's not striated, it's not woven, it is solid panel. Now is that ballistic? Oh hell yes it is. And the neat thing is, as I pointed out, there's a lot of this stuff that is now in the surplus market. We're right here next to Ann Arbor, Michigan. They've got the Michigan football team, okay? The same with the hockey team, too. A lot of this armor that they get is promotional. Now, certainly they get government money, and the government money is spent on all the junk that they move back and forth. They take your tax dollars and buy the sports junk with it, or they take, you know, donations from the, you know, the companies, so that the company gets to be able to say, the University of Michigan Wolverines, wear Schmidlap armor, wear, you know, Blatson steam armor, whatever it is, okay? However, if you look to the industry and you start asking around, you'll find out that a big chunk of armor, since the 90s, by the way, is Kevlar. What can we do with that? Well, let me give you a little hint. If you can find some of the stuff that's like really beat the snot, you don't want to necessarily wear it. But think about what different ways you can armor things up with it. It's contoured. Think about inside your fender wells of your cars or places where you want to put laminate armor. There's all kinds of ways you can beef up protection, but you can also wear it. something to think about there but you got to do research. Now shock armor is still handy. I mean football armor for what it does with playing football actually is kind of useful for any of the other kind of work we do. All over the body, well we already got knee pads you're buying now, elbow pads that you're buying now. You're buying plates, you're buying soft armor, you got crotch armor. So you know the more and more your body's being covered up. And remember that if it's Kevlar, at the very least, for shrapnel and shearing and small flying objects that are dangerous to your flesh and muscle and certainly not good for your head, putting more junk between you and whatever is flying around is nice. Plus, Kevlar or body armor of any kind also works for exactly the reason that you see in a football game. Short thud drop. You run into something, okay? First, I had this conversation today with two different people that said, hey, you're not getting any younger. Armored gloves are really a good idea. I've been talking about that. And by the way, elbow and knee pads, why? Well, I hear a lot of these people that say, well, I'm getting old and all I used to do when I was, what, 20 and 30, but I'm getting older. I just had this conversation like an hour ago. It would be kind of tough on my body. It's like, well, that's what knee pads, elbow pads, and all this other cool armored stuff that you can get now is for. so that it can protect you that much better so that you are squared away. So one of the things you need to look at is if you're even if you were younger, okay protect what you got. But the technology if we go to the next step for instance for our assault infantry shock armor like that using the existing padded systems and then even adding to it. It can be a wear and drop technology. Guys, there's all kinds of really cool things you could do, even just using Velcro to hold the stuff together, and you know, rip and dump. When you want to be able to fit into a space, a smaller area, just drop it. It's just like everything else we talked about. There's no rules. It says you have to keep something with you. Let me give an example. Backpacks. When you go into conflict, you make contact, guys, you dump the backpack. And you recover it. If you die, you're not going to recover it. If you lose, you're not going to recover it. If you win, you recover it and you strip the enemy dead. Okay, the same is true with other technology depending on what you're doing with it. I hear a voice. Who do we have? Well, you had me first. Okay, who do we have? Go ahead. Call her. I just want to bring in one thing. Go ahead. Slightly humorous. I don't want to get you off topic. It's the same topic. I want you to think when you're talking about the Kevlar panels, you can wear them outside. Think about the guy in Conan, the little Oriental guy that was running around with him and he had those plates hanging across his shoulder front and back. Right, he was old, but you'll notice he still made the effort to wear the armor, right? Exactly, that was the image when you were talking about it, that was the image that came into my mind, and I'm like, oh, I've got to remind him of that. And of course he ended up like a little bit of a turtle there for a minute too, remember? He was kind of a little more junk on him than, you know, was maybe useful. But on the other hand, consider it actually did its job at least once, and that's all it needs to do. Remember that. If it saved your life once, it paid for itself. You may not do it a second time, okay? Maybe it won't, maybe something else will happen. Oh well, that's a fickle finger of fate. Well, isn't that pretty much what the ceramic plates do? I mean, they don't last a whole lot of... You're not going to get three or four rounds out of the protection on that. Once it hits it and shatters it, the next round, you know, unless it hits a non-shatter part, it's going through to the soft stuff. Right. It has less protection potential based upon the number of hits. I mean, if it... But that is true. Now, you see, steel plate's pretty cool in that respect. That steel plate is 100 years... Well, no. Actually, let's go back. Steel plate goes back for, you know, nigh on into the depths of time, okay, because steel or brass or bronze has been out there, metals have been out there. Needless to say, as the threat changed, the armor defense capability changed. The idea upgrades, just like anything else, like the tank battles. You get a tank, somebody builds a bigger tank. So you have to build a bigger tank, and you get a bigger gun on it. Same is true with armor for infantry. So we're at the point right now, like you said, with steel plate, it's pretty resilient. That's the one thing about it that everybody has to admit. Carbon steel has advantages. Now, the ceramic plate is a little less weight, and you can get a little higher defense for the lesser weight. But for as long as ceramic has been around in whatever form, which by the way goes back to World War II, Ceramic plates were available in World War II, and they were fractureable. I mean, they would go frangible on you. Once they got hit, they were pretty well... That was it for that panel. That was it. You could probably still protect you from little stuff flying around. After it took that first thud, that was the end of it. And then you dumped it, and in fact, you might as well get rid of it if it was really dead weight on the plane. and you keep fighting, but it saved your life. It saved you from that big chunk of stuff that probably would have come in and gutted you or put a hole through the sides of your fist or whatever. So it's a matter of, you know, how many times will it do it and, you know, some things work better, but when you do get work better, typically I will also point out it also almost always is heavier. Okay. Everything is a matter of weight and energy consumption to get it there. Just think that way. If you can have everything ultralight you want, but if you add a whole bunch of ultralight, eventually you end up heavy. It's that simple. Not so ultralight when you're done. So this is where the balance comes in. What are you trying to do or what are you willing to accept in the way of risk and threat? uh... in addition to having the ability to be able to remember you're there to fight you there to move you had to get return fire put fire down range now defense forces don't have to be so hop light which is one of the things nobody talks about it's funny we think show shock armor and heavy armor we think uh... you know heavy infantry of the assault which is true more jump to protect yourself because you're you're about hang in the breeze but if you're uh... if you upgrade heavy infantry defense Well then your potential to hold what you're trying to keep is going up quite dramatically too. So this is where, tit for tat, there's an escalation in performance, you know, in the ability to defend and performance that we've seen. Guns have gone down in potential. Okay, let's think about that. Guns have gone down in potential. armor has come up. Now the only reason armor is working is provided it's based on the basic, what is the premise for or the conditioning of the people right now in .223, .57, FN, 9mm, .40 cal, etc. Because you'll notice a lot of the testing is hovering around light rifle category. But the problem is this, as I've pointed out, and the armor companies are telling the cops, you know, that they're going to protect you against big, heavy stuff. Well, big, heavy stuff is in the hands of the militia. Think about this. How many of the buddies you know have an M14? How many of them, and that's in 7.62x51 NATO. How many buddies you know have an M1 Garand? I mean, guys, there are virtually millions of Garands, and the beautiful thing about what's happening right now, where everybody wants to collect, All of these garands that were kind of on their long tooth end of maybe they were going to get chucked into the scrap yard. Guess what? They put the brake on that. People have picked them up. People are finding the parts. They're doing what the arsenal armorers used to have to do in a big pile and one at a time. All these other people have pitched in. They've had it taken an interest and they have breathed life into the M1 Garand. So it's not obsolescent by any stretch of the imagination, and in fact it is also going to be a very, very significant factor in the ground war of the United States in this up-and-coming action with regard to infantry weapons. The M14, despite all the drivel about, you know, obsolete this or old that or, you know, you don't really know about the M14, well, it still comes down to there are so many M1As out there. In fact, not as many as there are Garands. But there's enough out there that it's a battlefield superiority weapon. FNFA-L's HK-91's slash, you know, PTR-91's now, are out there in force. These are all heavier calibers. They are all bigger weapons, heavier caliber, and can do everything the 223 can do at the same velocities, but it's got more thud when it gets there. That's critical now for anybody who tries to argue. Well, our cats crazy the 223 will do everything No, no, okay. Let's go back and find some of the FM manuals from say those heady days of the Vietnam War Okay, and the European theater preparation for World War three the adventure begins Okay, which everybody was prepping for if you were in a mount environment and you're and you're exchanging fire back and forth and you come up across an obstacle that really, really isn't getting done. Okay, you got your M16A1 or A2 and you're bow, bow, bow. Now, remember the M16A1 and A2 have a 20 inch barrel, not a 16 inch barrel. So they do have a little edge up in terms of performance and accuracy, period, no matter what anybody says. They can try to play the numbers on that, but I can make a 20 inch barrel tech drive. Okay, and on the 16, I'll make it work. you give me four more inches or six more inches or eight marches a barrel I can do so much more with it and I got more energy available because what I can burn in the tube before the bullet leaves the muzzle however in the manuals it does this you have a hardened target and you know remember if your AIM-16s are having a problem call up that M60 gunner What? Well, wait a minute. I have the most sophisticated battlefield implement of the day. I've got the M16A1 or A2. Why would I need to call... Oh, oh, oh, that's right. The M60 is using the 7.62x51 NATO round. And in every manual it acknowledged you got more thud, you got more penetration, it's got more of a variety of rounds available to do, you know, do what needs to be done. The M60 Gunner will finish what you, you know, accomplish what you can with your light rifle. And with the light rifle you have more accuracy than that machine gun. Yeah, well again you keep pounding until you eat your way through. Not just because it's an automatic weapon, but because of the nature of the performance of the round. You see? So here's the thing, again back to the little bit with the armor here. I have been asking around that I was up late because I was getting all these reports. We have a bunch of activity here in Michigan. We have Canadian troops not training on the ground here. They are not training. They are starting to garrison up inside Michigan. I'm going to tell you that much right now. We've got a good idea of where they are. We know exactly, in fact, they're not just, you know, underground. Don't know if that's what we're talking about. We're talking about on the ground right now. People are observing them. We also have now guys ammunition deployments. We have palletized ammunition deployments to remote locations in Michigan, not military facilities. and we already know where several of them are. They're already photographed, we're already benchmarking, we're also doing a GPS on them right now. So this gives you a heads up. There is something in the wind right now. And we're not supposed to figure this out. The other thing that happened here the other day, Dave and other people have had the propagandists coming out and all of a sudden talking to them about Oklahoma City, okay? Now that's a that's a flag I told you this before watch for what's going on With the munitions deployments, especially since we're looking at palletized munitions. We're looking at quantity Now we also know that we have a certain amount of equipment. We also we're benchmarking who what where when right now and We've already done aerial surveys of two areas our aircraft are going over their areas or these areas These are not military facilities. These are not restricted airspace Okay, I'm going to tell you something right now. But they're in the middle of sections and they're deploying in areas that we already knew were prepped before. The only thing I don't have is information on the pattern of the uniform. The distance with the photography that was done with the first contact with what were obviously security and picket operations and patrolling units was from a distance. All the same uniform, all the same equipment. and aggressively patrolling not on a training weekend these are not training operatives they are combat combat loaded so everybody pay attention to your area i've mentioned before about virginia the same thing get your act together figure out what's going on there and virginia better be aware because they're going to try to do a the government terror strike against the american people that's what they're planning And it will be ATF, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and the Virginia State Police, all cooperating under MJTF, JTF and MJTF operations. I guarantee the same thing's going to happen here, just like anywhere around the country. Now, on the armor, with regard to armor and carrying it, here's something I've been asking about, and I've been talking to the industry about, whatever happened to titanium? Guys, other than the fact that it's a cost, Okay, if you think steel is expensive, which it's not by the way I mean come on blast it you can get a steel plate carrier with two plates front and back for 140 hundred and fifty dollars. That's pretty stinking good But here's something to think about You're talking a bag of dog food You're gonna carry your magazines your weapon first aid gear gas mask and basic stuff with sales So well mark, I'm gonna carry minimum. Okay, you carry minimum and you put it together What does it weigh? On top of that, you're going to carry plates because you guys like you. A lot of guys love the steel. And I said earlier, the steel actually performs better for taking a side hit or for repetitive hits in the same place. The steel plates are going to take a lot more to chew through. However, they only cover so much space. And if you don't, you've still got fragmentation on the battlefield and all these other things. We've got Kevlar to cover that now. But we're just talking a bag of dog food for the steel plates. Consider this. Titanium is half the weight for the same protection. Now, I guess the question is, is it cost? Because the testing was already done on titanium back in the 90s. I did some of the research myself. We just played with stuff. Nancy, if I get hold of junk, we'd test it. And the guys out there, some of you guys listening, help with the research. We had piles of Kevlar when I was buying tonnage. I got a footlocker full of tested Kevlar when somebody says, well, I don't think it'll do that. Well, let me show you what it'll do. I mean, I've kept the stuff around because Kevlar is Kevlar. I'll pile the stuff on something else from the time it comes. It's got some bullet holes in it. Some of it doesn't have full bullet holes because Kevlar did what it's supposed to do. However, titanium at that time in the 80s and 90s, titanium was already confirmed to be used and in fact was being purchased. with regard to shock plates and chicken plates that you could put all over the armor. You could put it, of course, in the center where you have your chicken plate, your cardio cover for a soft armor. You could get Kevlar compressed, you could get steel, which everybody knows, or you could get titanium. What was the advantage of the titanium? The plate was half as thick for the same protection as its steel counterpart. So what did I do? I took two or three or four of the Kevlar, forgive me, of the titanium plates and put them in the Kevlar vest. Now, in theory, if one's going to do good, laminate multiple should do even better, right? So, where did titanium go? Now, the titanium market has always been soft because it is expensive, but you know what? The guys that do titanium are more than happy to work with you. They'd love to sell more titanium. I know this because we talked to the guys. Larry Ellsworth, one of our armors, he's gone now. He loved working in titanium. The guys would make anything. If you took it down to one of the shops that was selling the yards, it was selling titanium actually more than a yard because they're quite sophisticated. They would pattern out with CNC anything you ask to have done because they wanted you to buy it. They wanted you to buy more titanium. So I'm trying to find out what happened and it's bizarre because it's almost like everybody went into brain fart. It's not that titanium doesn't work, it's everybody went into brain fart, guys, and I don't know why. This is one of those things where you have something in the industry and everybody could be using it, but nobody is apparently, it's like they've gone into like, there's like some deflective shield with their brain where they don't think to go that way, and it doesn't make any sense. So here's the thing to consider. If you have someone who has any of the titanium shock plates, and you bought, for instance, plate carriers, but you can't afford the more expensive or any of the heavier, or maybe you don't even want to carry the heavier, this is something to take into consideration. The shock side plates are heavy. Okay, they're just as heavy as any of the other steel. Pound-free, you know, this is going to take for so many inches, you get so many pounds of weight you got to carry. It's that simple, so many square inches. So, how about going with titanium plate inserts at least as a supplement for the time being if you can't afford the side plates. Titanium should be out there. So here's the thing, search with some of your companies that do government surplus armor because there are a few sources out there. And if you do, in fact, even if you can't get the titanium plate, consider this. At the very least, the chicken plates can be inserted into your side panel pockets and you have some armor protection. It doesn't need to be 100%. In fact, it's what you can afford. Another consideration, there are soft panels that are scraped that are out there. You can buy them. You'll have to heat cup them, but you can actually cut a level three panel out of stuff. And then insert a titanium panel or a steel panel behind or in front. It's your choice. There's an advantage and disadvantage either way. There are pluses and minuses. But if you put the chicken plate, you know, in front of, that would be a solution. Or if you put it behind, remember the Kevlar is going to start mushing out so, you know, slows it down a lot, depending on whether it's pistol or rifle. This is where the, that's why the inversion. So one works better over the other pistol. rifle versus rifle. What do you think your threat is? What is most likely to be the threat you're going to run into? Or what are you most concerned with on the type of actions you're involved in? This is one of the variations in personal choice. Of course, on the other hand, buy two plates, put one in the front, put the Kevlar in the middle, put the other plate behind it. Hey, double plus good, there you go. Your choice, whatever you want to do. And by the way, you really do have a choice. We don't have any law. about what you can and can't carry in the militia or for that matter with any independent person out there in this country still america for the time being so it is a solution not just complete about probably trying to figure out ways to get you guys where you've got got the armor a lot of people are complaining because they've got the heavy plates and still plates they're just they're too big a dog food and how do you add more or how do you shift or shift that out Well, these are some of the solutions. Now remember that armor is, when you're talking personal armor, it's like tank armor. You know that everything on a tank, if it, what's the armor supposed to protect? Obviously whatever's in the tank. But here's the priority with tank design. The tank crew is what you're trying to protect. Does everybody understand that? All of the objects in a tank are considered armor to protect the crew. Why do you put the engine forward if you can? Because when a round is plowing through the tank and if it plows through the armor, there's maybe only a little bit of oomph left, the engine might be enough to stop it. Did you know that? This is all figured into the armor formula. This is why you have chambers inside tanks, especially the newest designs, where you have baffle armor inside step by step. It's not as thick as the external armor. Well, that's only 20 millimeter. Yeah, but after you had to plow through 110 inches on an angle of homogeneous armor plate with ceramic backing, then it plows through the engine, but it doesn't have much left to plow with, and what's spalled might be left splashes on the inner panel. that's 20 millimeters thick and the crew never takes a hit. You see how that works? Now let's take that over to personal body armor. Remember that tanks have armor but they don't have their front glacis plate, their front plate is the thickest because logic is you're not trying to run from the enemy, you're probably going to be facing the enemy. However, your side armor is never as thick as your forward armor, and your rear armor typically is weaker still, although it varies depending on the tank design. If the tank has an engine to the rear, I will point out again, the logic is the engine is actually armor. The steel compartment that the engine is is armor. Everything is protection. It throws down energy. It bleeds energy from whatever's trying to get to the soft, chewy stuff, which is the crewmen. Why is it they do this? Well, a tank crewman takes a lot of time to train. And so once you have that brain trust between the ears, it's probably a good idea to save your tank crews. You can always make more tanks, but it takes 20 years to grow a human being that actually is competent and capable. I'm talking about just the base part before you educate him. Then when you educate him, you've got investment time. So armor, the whole idea behind it is to protect the soft, chewy stuff that is of value, the organic brain that has arms and limbs attached that gets the job done. Now, this is where supplemental armor can't be, doesn't have to be perfect, but it does protect. Remember, a lot of your sides, well, think about this, you're facing the enemy. Let's just think about you as a tank. You're facing the enemy. They're firing at you, you're firing at them. Could be a close in, close quarter, you're in a room, pistol fire, bang, bang, bang. Side panels that are thinner is acceptable because chances are those are going to be glancing or scutting blows against the side of the plate. Your front armor obviously needs to be the best because, well, if you're being attacked, it'd be a good idea to turn to the enemy and return fire. Since you are turned to the enemy, your best armor's up front, it'd be a good idea to shoot back, right? common sense. Well, while you're facing the enemy, that side armor is sufficient to protect you from possible hits of whatever kind. Is it going to deal with 100% of whatever comes at you from the flanks? No. But it was already understood in the math formula that that might be the case. So if you want to concern yourself with making yourself into a little clank-tank, I don't want with two legs, a bipod. You're just, you're a biped, you only have those two things to occupy, you know, pogo stick around on. And because of that, you know, I was going to say, there's another term I can't use on here. The most important thing here again is how much could he carry, what are you willing to invest in, wallet is always half the battle. So finding solutions that are less expensive from debris, detritus, and you know, scavenged material is nice. Now this comes full circle back to, hey, what about that? Kevlar, those Kevlar shock panels on the old football armor. Ah yes. If you were to take, for instance, a shock trauma plate, put that in the side panel, then take one of those Kevlar pads that you've scavenged off a tired piece of football armor, padding, shoulder padding. Guess what? You got yourself a laminate tank armor, much like what I just described earlier, you'll find on most of the main battle tanks and a lot of the APCs nowadays. There's not just one kind of armor typically protecting anybody anymore because there are too many different threats. Here's the thing about tanks. Yep, it's really good against solid shot, deflects that front glacis at such a shallow angle. It deflects the scutting round that makes contact and deferreds it over the side of the turret. It careens off behind the tank a half a mile and thuds into the ground somewhere and pretty impressive when you watch that happen. Unfortunately then they decide to go at you with a hash or a hep round of some kind or you got all kinds of other special munitions and they kind of burn through. It's kind of like a mobile arc welder. And don't forget, Sabo. We've got Sabo, Sabo rounds, which of course are high speed darts. Oh yeah, instead of 105 or 120, they're basically a couple of clamshell pieces of plastic holding a dart which is much smaller and very dense. and it's designed to punch through at a much higher velocity and get you to the soft, chewy point inside. Well, wow, this is confusing. No, it's not. It means that, again, you also pick what you feel is the dominant threat, and that's what you defend against. It's kind of rock, paper, scissors kind of thing, okay? It's always been going on with tanks. It's always been going on with anybody wearing armor. Knights in armor were no different. Again, two-legged tanks. So if you're going to be looking at armor, some of the other things to consider, hey, if that Kevlar shock armor works as I've been questioning, you could upgrade helmets too. Think about all the little panels that you could actually lock onto or add to without taking and adding significant weight. and make for a whole lot more protection for instance of the brain pan, your thighs, there's thigh armor out there, you make a pocket for the thigh armor, I mean, granted you start adding more junk, it's gonna be more weight, but if it's not too extreme, it wouldn't be a bad thing. And they make side armor for football out there. They do. Hey! Anyway guys, ideas, now you're doing some research, have some fun, don't just, you know, throw it out, just forget about it. How about we start investigating and you can pitch in and help with the R&B, research and development. Again, assume the worst will only be disappointed. The bad guy's gonna be shooting at you, right? You figure out how much protection you think you need. Don't forget to armor those cars, too. Underneath the net outside, that way they won't know the armor's there. God bless, always. Republic?

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit that so their children will be married. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for what you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, is to still the land of the free? And good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Korky. One day closer victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, southeast, north, and northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... Retreatradio.4mg.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com in Memorial and we are on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Hallmark and Golden Spike Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska Good afternoon to all of our friends out there in the lower 49 which includes Grace Ade Jefferson and Conus. In addition, the Outlying Two States, Alaska and Hawaii, the two territories, Guam and Puerto Rico. And the clock right now is 6.08 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It is the 5th of February, weapons Wednesday. It is the 12th year of open Fabian, socialist, and obvious Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2020 Old Earth Calendar 2020 year of battle. It's coming. And of course, we're into February. So far, of course, to the 5th of February, and Hillary Clinton still has not been arrested. And I'm not holding my breath, nor am I going to listen to any of the B.S. about that. What happens, it happens, and otherwise, you would be in jail is now three years and what, four months old? Three years, almost five months old? Yeah. Well, obviously, she wouldn't be in jail because Well, it is Weapons Wednesday. I will mention this. You know, this is an interesting little idea that is out there, a solution for all you Glock owners. How many of you are familiar with the... Oh, what do they call these now? Come on. It's little micro-ronies that are used. Micro-ronie, micro-ronie. It's like, you know, that San Francisco treat. No, that's rice-a-ronie. Any micro-ronie. This is the little skeletal frame for your glocks. If you have a Glock 17, Glock 19, 19X, 22, 23, 31, 32, or 45, no NFA required. It is a skeletalized frame that your Glock goes up into. and you have a support, an arm rest, or an arm support. It's not a shoulder stock. It's an arm rest. Yeah, yeah, right, whatever. Until they decide to do what they did with bump stocks and then it won't be. But in the meantime... $150 for one of these. If you were looking at possibly buying one, if you've got the Glock 17, 19, 19X, 22, 23, 31, 32, and or 45, no NFA paperwork required. They're in stock and they're on sale today for $149 plus $8 if you want a lifetime warranty on the part. That's a plus or minus thing. It's not critical, but what the heck for the eight dollars. Why not now? What is that? I'll repeat that would come in real handy with those 30 plus round magazines that goes yeah Absolutely what the what's really cool of course if you have the gun that this goes in it makes it a little like light rifle slash Be a great vehicle rifle I'm sorry, light carbine, because of course it's not a rifle, and that's not a shoulder stock, except that, yeah, well, most everybody's gonna use it like a shoulder stock. It does have slow carbines. Yeah, it is tiny, what it does is it's the equivalent, the modern equivalent to a shoulder stock on a Browning high power or a shoulder stock on a Luger or a shoulder stock on a Broomhandle Mauser. or a shoulder stock on a 45. And for those who don't know about it, yes, the U.S. government did issue 45s with shoulder stocks. And I've proven this time and again for those who don't understand, you really haven't been paying attention to any of the manuals, especially the Special Forces Communications and Unconventional Warfare manuals, because if you read through the inventory, you'll learn something. When you call for an airdrop for 45s, what do you get? Oh, yeah, well used to get. Now, of course, you don't get a 1911 anymore because they don't do that. But back in the day, shoulder stocks for the 45, no, they weren't made for the Lebanese. They were made for us. Anyway, this is the same idea. You just lock your Glock in there, and what's really cute is it creates a magazine-fed light pistol slash light carbine. And you also have additional stock storage for another magazine on the gun, on the, I'm sorry, on the carrier system, whatever you want to call it. It's called a micro Ronnie. A lot of people have written up on these. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, you can find all kinds of videos on the subject. But for $150, it's a pretty reasonable buy, guys. If I had a Glock like that, if I had any one of those Glocks, yes. If your gun would fit in there, I'd buy it. For $150, it's awfully handy. The ladies would love this gun. It's lightweight, it's small, it's compact in every way it needs to be. I would point out the average girl doesn't have arms as long as the average man. Just as the way women are built, okay, they're shorter and they're typically a little shorter in the arms and sometimes in the legs. In various people, they're built differently. But the advantage is that the gun is also quite convenient. in that it makes a good vehicle support weapon, it could be a good armored crewman gun. And one of the other considerations there is that it could be an armored crewman gun and that you could keep the fixture on standby and have a pile of glocks laying around. And if you want to plug it in, or if not, stick with just the glock in the shoulder holster and the glock on your hip if that's what you're going with. But it is an interesting idea and it is on sale today. It's the daily deals so it's going to be until the evening hour or they run out of inventory and it's $150 apiece and then there's an $8 lifetime warranty and yes, they do have magazines. In fact, they have tons of magazines. They have lots and lots and lots. $12, $13 for the 33 round 9 millimeter Glock mags which are perfect for this particular configuration. And they have those in the 31 rounder for the 40 and the 33 rounder for the nines. And yes, they do have some for the 45, but you got to go through the inventory. And they do list them so you can figure out what they have that makes sense for what you need. Plus, they still have 15 round Glock mags for $10. So there's a whole pile of those you can put in there, too. All of those will fit in this particular device because this particular device is designed for your pistol. They're not going to be changing anything on the gun. By the way, they also state that the tan and black version of the same thing, Ronnie micro conversion kit, $230. So $150 for the black plastic. What is it? The black plastic doesn't work as well? Yeah, I think I'd just go the black. If it's $100 cheaper, guess what Uncle Mark's going to buy? It's the same thing. Yeah, it's just different colors. Yeah. Well, it's not purple. No. Red? No. Black? Oh, I can live with that. By the way, break out the spray paint. If the spray paint chips off, throw some more spray paint. Just a little bit here and there. Little brown, little medium green. There you go. And all of a sudden it's got a little break up to it. Again, for $100 less for the exact same item, yeah, go the black one. And again, so that's over at Classic Firearms. It's the deal of the day. It is for the micro Ronnie. It's basically the light rifle slash carbine stock for a Glock, pistol, and whatever configuration you have, and they all plug into this thing. It doesn't change the operation of the gun at all. The pistol still works the way it normally would. It's just working inside a frame, okay? So that makes for a very positive situation, because a lot of you guys will tell me, my Glock is incredibly reliable. Well, then your Glock won't have any problem operating with this situation, okay? Another thing, somebody was asking me mark working i get built for belted semi-auto two to three and i of course really rattled off the company we're talking about here classic firearms well on park was wrong apparently a whole bunch of you people out there had five six and seven thousand dollars in fact up to nine thousand dollars to buy five five six uh... belt fed uh... f n uh... squad guns that are some i auto uh... they clean them out now here's what's interesting there was an actual car was doing a light i wrote it down before because we actually mentioned on the air went back to the log at the time when i mentioned last time they had like thirty six guns so thirty six times five to nine thousand dollars will five thousand eight dole say six thousand six thousand eight thousand dollars and they got cleaned out somebody is taking what's going on somewhat seriously now they're not the only ones who have those rifles cuz their rifles are not machine guns But the advantage of this, if you do, if you've chosen to buy the FN squad guns that are semi-auto, that are belt fed, if you go over to UNAMMO.com, he has pallets of that ammunition in the cans. And if you can buy that way with the belt link and everything ready to go, you buy as much of that if you can. If you're going to buy one of those guns, you buy a ton of that ammunition. That way your gunner is fed. He keeps the weapon functioning the way it's supposed to. Now also, you don't let links drop, so get a link bag. You want to collect all your links, you want to collect all your brass if you can. Now I will warn you about something though. I should mention that. If you're in semi-auto, you're probably not going to have this issue, but remember that your knees still can heat up a gun like that quite a bit. But if you're using a machine gun, a belt-fed gun of whatever kind, a chain-fed gun, guys, Once you start using that weapon heavy, and it will say that you're firing a lot of rounds in a short period of time, you will have stretched brass. You're gonna preheat the chambers heating up with every burst that you fire one two three four five one two three one two three four five Oh my god, there's a whole bunch of Chinese in front of me or I panic All of a sudden my trigger finger doesn't have any restriction and it says slow down a little bit I just dumped 50 60 70 I lost count 100 rounds and I just heated that barrel up by the time I get to round 60 When that brass is inserted, and even as it's making contact with the chamber, there is a massive amount of calorie buildup there that is transmitted to the brass. The brass is actually heated sufficiently, but in some cases, their first will be a certain amount of adhesion into the chamber. But as the bolt does its job, instead the extractor cloth does what it's supposed to do, the brass becomes malleable. It softens and literally will stretch to a degree as you're trying to pull it back out of the chamber. The more rounds you fire, the hotter that chamber. The hotter that chamber, the more calories transfer. And you will have brass that eventually will elongate by up to a sixteenth of an inch. Okay? Significant otherwise. We got a caller. Who do we have? This is BC. Hey, jump in there BC. What do you got? I just wanted to have something rather significant as far as the micro Ronnie. What they're showing is the MCK version, which is a counterfeit version of the original micro Ronnie. I would not recommend it. I would recommend going to the I-N-C. Oh, this is, wait a minute. You know why you just mentioned that? Hold on. What just happened here? This is weird. It says it is a Ronnie micro conversion. Yeah, but hold on here, I'm just GMCK at Classic and they're selling the counterfeit because it's made probably in the States. There's a fella that's selling and all that. If you go to YRS, you'll get the real Ronnie, the micro Ronnie, and you can get every single one of the versions that they have. The micro Ronnie X Gen 4 is the one that's preferred to get because it's got the longer the bull brace. The original version is a little bit shorter by about four inches. The arm brace, right, which is not a stock, even though it's like a stock. It is not a stock, it is an arm brace. But you want to get the longer arm brace and it's more comfortable to shoot. And speaking of from experience, okay, and when you go to yrs.com and you'll see all kinds of different variations of this you can get. You can get the one that is. does require the paperwork and then they have the models that don't require the paperwork. Okay, now I'm going to direct the listeners to the model that's worth getting. You want to get the Micro Ronnie X Step Gen 4 that's listed for $199. It's just a few dollars more, but there's a significant difference between this, the original, versus the MCK counterfeit. Okay? And when you order this, I would highly suggest to go ahead and get their clothes in the front of it because it's a 500 Loomin. It does the job. If you do a little research and homework on this thing, you'll find this is the one to get. And then don't get anything other than the unit itself in the flashlight and you'll be in business. And then you put in your Glock 19. And if you were paying attention the other day when Classic had the 499 Glock mags, the best price in the country. Yeah, yeah. And then you can put your websites or I would highly encourage to get the Primary Arms MD ADS Microdot. They're on sale right now in several different places for about $120. Get the absolute riser for it because it's an absolute co-witness and you'll have to have unless you just want to have a really, really low cheek well profile and in order to have a sighting picture you want to be able to raise that puppy up and bite in front of your eye. Both eyes open to be able to keep an eye on your target and be able to shoot through that red dot. So I would recommend the Primary Arms MD ADS micro dot with the absolute co-witness riser. And the fella out there in California is named Lenny McGill. He's got a, he's got a, he's real informative, real good guy to listen to. He's still on the MCK. don't buy it from him i mean don't don't buy counterfeit but uh... but he makes a lot of good sense on uh... you know side alignment and trigger control stuff like that but uh... you want to get it to y r s ink dot com and buy it from the people that make the thing don't buy the counter and you can get it with all the different accessories you want you can get it with a flashlight the thumb rest the flip up site you can get their version of the red dot i'm not to impress whatever each year but the one thing you'll find out about these things is when you put a watch through this thing it's gonna really your block as well because not a lot of the uh... it's contained it inside a about it's fairly well it's obtained as you think it is and that's why i was entertaining the part of going ahead and get the five-inch threaded blood put it in the block nineteen which is about a three-and-a-half-inch that way that there is a little further and that they have on this Ronnie. The way I would believe a little bit more in front of your Glock actually just kind of butts right up to the back of the muzzle device on the Ronnie. So there's still potential for a fair amount of fouling on the inside of the gun, on the inside of the apparatus, fouling the outside of the Glock, which is not a big deal. But, you know, it's just a little more cleaning. But yrs.com, you want the micro Ronnie X stab. For $1.99, throw an extra $60, get their flashlight, and put it in there, and you're good to go. And it is a wonderful deal, very well made, and I know I have a... It will take exactly 14 to 16 days for it to show up by the time it comes through shipping, custom, all the different routes it's got to go. But this is a very, very decent equipment, and I encourage everyone that can get one that should get one, should get one. And there again, the barrels are available from when somebody just said where can you get a barrel? Well, I don't know. Actually, classic may have the barrel, the extended barrels. Yeah. And I would assume maybe even the one who has the stock that you're talking or forgive me, the stock system may actually have the barrel too, right? No, no, no. I mean. I was just toying with a way to try and minimize the the fouling. That's all. Right. Well, one way or another, you're still going to get a certain amount of wash. I mean, no matter how hard we try because you're taking a firearm and putting it inside another another object. You even get a certain amount of backwash whenever the chamber, whenever she ejects. Guys, you're always going to get a little bit of backwash, especially in rapid fire, where it's going to come back through the chamber. It's just the nature of the beast, the way the thing works. Machinery works. Right. So they don't sell barrels that I'm aware of. I'll sell this thing over for a couple of months before I decided to do this. So I would just keep an eye out for places that you usually venture like Classic or Almetto. The usual stuff. And occasionally you'll see them having sales on Glock barrels. And usually they'll be like Match Barrels, which is a plus. And they're going to run a couple of hundred bucks or less for... But yeah, it was just a theory of mine if it had the longer barrel trued into the muzzle a little further. Well, as a matter of fact, don't forget, a lot of these companies are doing the 80% Glock kits are now offering pretty much all the barrels and the parts assembly. So there's another place to look. You might find a better buy on something that... they've decided to put a sail on because that's really what you want to catch. You want to catch the window dressing. Exactly. Like the mags the other day. You just happened to catch them at the right time. Congratulations, you got yourself a whole pile of good mag. You know, well, again, useful mags. Yep. Let me get out of your way. Appreciate it. Well, no, thank you very much for the follow-up. That's what we needed. And again, somebody's just asking me, Mark, did you see the price of the Hakim at Classic? Because I got you to go to Classic and I said, yes, I know. I talked about this on the air. $1,000 for Hakim's. We paid $69, guys, for the same rifle from the same group as that one you see there for $1,000 now, okay? Which is like, if you're just patient, remember, it's like old wine. There's only so much of whatever gun it is that's made and eventually it goes farther into the depths of time and Well, you see the end result, right? Then take that one Hakim and pay for all the other ones that you keep but then you can't replace the gun yourself That's the quandary of of playing with armaments and you know industries like this especially where there's collectability so just a heads up We're almost to the bottom of the hour. Edward, I'll tell you what, for the bottom of the hour break, our traditional for weapons Wednesday would be fine. And again, this is my rifle. There is no, well, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Remember that. This is my rifle, but it's mine. Before God's... Suddenly, here the red goat put mind to man that she fills in our alley. There is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not just singin' of the view, the wild and free. So soon you'll know the ringin' of the rifle from the tree. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands will prove no frightful. We may ride a good league team, you may know it's a turn of the matter. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys and the leader John Stark. Glad you make what little noise and all we sit to mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands we will prove no trifle. Maggie no graves at home, back across the briny water And giddy he must come like well up to the floor But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun If the sentence figure hold the but through the clickers will be done Oh the rifle, oh the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle Oh the rifle, oh the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle And again, the riflemen, riflemen, not the musket, well, they were musket men slash the rank and file, but the riflemen were the special warfare people of the day, the guys to look up to, the people who could reach out and touch at range. Rifle units typically were fire brigades, they might say fire like in firemen, they were designed and incorporated into units during the American War for Independence to fill the void if something started to crumble in the defense. Or if during an attack you wanted to exploit an advantage, the rifle units were pushed into those areas and they were designed to move quick, reach farther, put a lot of targets down, and give the bayonet the opportunity to work at close range with the musket units. So just a little heads up, when you see the term rifles, brave rifles or riflemen on a unit patch, especially 1st Division, any of the brigades of the 1st Division or regiments, depending on how old they are, or the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th Division, any of those, those go back to the American War for Independence and riflemen really something. think about it as much because there are other new elite phrases that are used we've got to be special superjungly war fairy slice desert combat you know blah blah blah blah blah it always changes but uh... in this case again the rifleman accuracy one-shot hit them knock them down go on to the next target try to get back up you light rifles can finish the job we got heavies for this Anyway, you know I went to Classic Firearms and I missed something, so I'm going to go back to Classic Firearms referencing here, and the crack stock Chinese SKS type 56 rifles, original military turn-in rifles for $250 apiece. Now that's not $69 or $59 a rifle, but that is a much better price than we've been seeing. These are mechanically sound. In fact, go read what it says over at Classic Firearms for $250. They have a pile of SKS's right now. If you were looking for another SKS to beef up or modify or improve upon, here you go. You can clean this one up. Now, it is a C&R eligible gun. I don't really care about that anymore. A service-issue SKS rifle, 20-inch barrel, spike magnet, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. These are very, very useful firearms. Now, here's a solution. You go ahead and get the broken stock, or I should say the damaged stock version. Guys, choke stocks are out there cheap for the S-cast because the S-cast has not been available. So if you search around, you can find some really nice, serviceable, polymer stocks. that you can change it out to. I wouldn't get rid of the original wood. I'd then start working on fixing it up and repairing the original wood, which can be done. Here's another consideration, if you're like me. I have piles of the SKS stocks that were taken off other guns because it was real popular to put the plastic stocks on. And I bought those stocks for three and five dollars apiece. So I would have spare stocks in the inventory. Well guess what? You could turn right around if you've done the same thing. Take one of your decent stocks, put it on the crack stock model. Congratulations, double plus good, don't do any more. The idea is to minimize whatever you have to do to turn the gun around to bring it up to spec. The S-cast is a good rifle. I wouldn't hesitate to carry it. We got a caller, who do we have? Does it? Those Chody adjustable skeleton stocks are fabulous. Oh, the new one with the five point. Yeah, there's a new with the air. It's got an adjustable shoulder piece in the back and it's got an adjustable cheek rest on the top and it's lightweight, very superior. Yeah, they might even have them. The Chinese stock that came with mine was, let's say, very short. Yeah, they are. I couldn't shoulder it properly at all. That's what the, that's why the Chinese immediately started offering rubber BB buggy bumper extension pads for the SKS and the AK, if you recall, years ago. They were about, they were really crude, but they were about one inch and they actually worked, but they were designed to give you that much more for the average American whose arms tend to be, you know, we tend to be about six foot and arms a little longer and in general needing, we need a little more stock to get the rifle where we want it normally. The Monte Carlo style stock for that as well is if you're not somebody who wants to have the skeletonized version if you want a more traditional style stock those fiberglass polymer Monte Carlo stocks are fabulous too. I've used both. And somebody's asking where would we find those right now and it's like well actually I mentioned one earlier apex may have them I just haven't gone through apex. Apex Gun Parts is kind of newer than the average pair so they may or may not have them. But Centerfire Systems, I haven't really brought them up in a little while again, they actually had the SKS stock you're talking about for a pretty reasonable price. So for $250 if you're looking for additional SKS's that are mechanically sound, Center fire systems systems. I'm getting it up on the air here systems calm. Yeah, they're the SKS is it's not a high point But boy, it'll take a lot of abuse still keep kicking Yeah, www.dot, okay, let's get this right. I don't think you could jam a bolt down the muzzle or that right, the SKS. All the SKS will run until the health freezes over. You don't really need to test. I mean, to be quite honest, if it was an AK or an SKS sitting there, I'd grab the SKS myself. I mean, some people prefer the bigger magazine, but you get a little more reach, a little more accuracy with it. It's a very comfortable gun to shoot. It depends on what I'm trying to do with it. In this case, if I were going to build up, for instance, like a baby Dragunov, no, it's not a tack driver to a thousand yards, but it's a little light rifle package, very comfortable system. And it's also, it's more, if I can use the coin, the term, it's more dense in the the receiver area. And then I bring the A.J.s are stamped and the S.K.S. is normally, well, normally it's billet, but you could get anything with it. Well, here's what's cute, is I mentioned this and lo and behold now you may or may not want to do this. It's a pro personal thing. Over at over at CenterfireSystems.com. Ten pack of S.K.S. 762x39 40 round. Zytel magazines these are with the duck before $100 10-pack SKS 7.62x39 40 round Zytel and yeah you can guys these are these would work what I'd use these for is if I were to actually use the thing as a for as a gun platform for a vehicle if I needed to build something up and I was trying to find something on the cheap as a quick solution $100 worth of 40 round 250 round SKS switch over to the skeleton stock for the s k s and malt that in a picture and pop pop pop pop pop pop pop and have a a bucket full of these hanging off to the side yet work it would be a it would be above the spray and pray blazer gala spray and pray blazer gone which are looking at but not bad uh... again uh... you have to look do a little real look to see who's made these effort wrote i don't think they are Zytel, detachable, doesn't really say, made in the USA though, so it may be choked. I'll have to call Centerfire tomorrow to find out as long as this is still up, but it's on the front page, by the way. So, there's your SKS for $250. What we're looking for though is, let's see, SKS stock. Let's see if they have, oh, yep, they do. They show, in fact, probably the one that you're using, Dar. They do have it listed here. So for you guys, if you're looking, Um, oh, that's weird. Actually, Centerfire has them for the same price for the, uh, crack stock or broken stock as they're calling out if they're fully broken through. I mean, there could be, but they do have crack stock, mechanical, mechanical, oh, there's one with mechanical issues also. There you go. You can buy it with a broken stock for $250 or you can buy it with a crack stock, mechanical issues. Okay. And still $250. Wait a minute, which would you buy? Wait a minute, hold on here. Let's see. One says broken stock, but no mechanical issues works fine. That's $250. The other one is crack stock, mechanical issues, and it's still $250. Sold as is. I'm sure it is, but I'm probably taking the other one just as a policy issue, you know, kind of thing. You know what I mean? As long as the mechanical issue isn't, you know, something like a, you know, swivel, or you swing swivel or something. Right. uh... probably something more because we've got the or my question is where did you come from and i have got an answer i haven't seen one of the batch yet because uh... of the ones that most recently have come in but guys if these are an import rifle it stamped on the gun somewhere not they were they've been stamping on very quietly two locations number one if you fold down the bayonet and you look right underneath for the bayonet folds up you will find micro stamping there that will say where it's imported from if it came from Indonesia or if these came from oh wait a minute Vietnam now here's what's cute for a lot of you guys have bought the SKS's the reason you all wanted one years ago is because it was what was shooting at you during Vietnam right and so a lot of that's why the Chinese when they start offering SKS are like yeah I want one of those The Chinese didn't know any better. They painted them black, thinking we wanted black stock rifles. And everybody looked at those because they sawed the bayonet lug off. And they painted the stocks black and they thought, oh, that's what American market want, because you want M-16. No, we want the regular stock SKS of the kind that we were picking off the corpses or they were trying to kill us to make us corpses of during the war. Somebody wanted the counterpart to the rifle they probably had in their collection, an M1A or whatever, or an M16 AR-15 rifle. And the interesting thing about these guys, depending on the point of origin, these are the rifles that we're shooting at you. you have the guns that look like the guns that were shooting at you if you're really interested in your vietnam here a vet uh... guess what in the rifle find out where these came from There's a high probability at one point or another if you were over there for more than a couple of tours and I know guys that were This rifle may have shot at you. It may have had an opportunity to put a bullet in your direction It is more likely to be the case the guns you got from China were used by the Chinese I don't know where these guns came from but they did not come from China These guns came from some other country that has been using the SKS. Now it could be an African nation, because the Africans got a lot of Lend-Lee slash gift guns from Communist China. On the other hand, we also know that a whole bunch of SKSes went to Vietnam. and combo dia and of course we have a perfect home guard weapon yeah exactly what we were pro-line weapons at the time in fact uh... most the african states which barely could rub two sticks together to pay anybody uh... the chinese could afford back when they were doing their big one police and their big uh... gifting back in the uh... eighties uh... and nineties when they were doing that you know twenty five thirty years ago and forty years ago The, the SCAS were still, they were a drug on the market, they had way too many of them, they really didn't care. And for a country that had very little of any guns and mostly sharp objects and, you know, harsh language, all of a sudden the Chinese brought them into the, you know, the 19th and 20th century. They might not have had a great uniform, but all of a sudden they had a modern firearm. And that's where a lot of these guns have ended up and are still being used as in Africa. The eastern side of Africa, although eventually they permeated all of Africa, obviously the Pacific states and as we know Southeast Asia where they really were dominant. So there's only so many places that these probably came from. Some countries we aren't allowed to buy from, okay. Somebody has to pick them up that's a render revolution company and then bring them out of those countries before they can be sold. So, if you're looking for the stamp, it'll be the micro stamp, when I say micro stamp, it'll be half the size of the normal stamping that you see. They try to make it as unobtrusive as possible so, you know, a guy will say, oh, I broke this back from the war, and then you look and there's like, mm, imported from Malaysia. Well, I don't think it was brought back from the war, so. But this is the closest thing you might get to a gun that actually fired at your high indent if you're a Vietnam vet. or that shot at dad or shot at grandpa depending on who you are it's like yeah this actually did come from Vietnam got strong juju you know bad juju that could be possibly the case too so oh I might actually hit one of us uh with regard to the stocks uh they do have a number of different stocks listed over at uh uh center fire so what you want to do guys is go back look to see what they have on hand and again that's uh sks stocks sks now let's see in fact they've got them in dark Let's see what we got here. Oh, actually, Tapco, model number 1, 6, 7, 5, 8, SKS stock system, uh, IntraFuse, SKS, Flat Dark Earth, composite, $83.99. However, the stock, currently it's out of stock. So if you do have it, you're in luck. But if not, you just may not be available. Oh, they're sold out already because look at all the broken stocks, right? Yeah, that's probably the case. Another thing here real quick on the SKS, as far as the 20 round mag versus the stick, you know, the detachable, it sticks one way half a dozen the other. If your SKS isn't switched over, and it just uses a 10 round mag or maybe the extended 20 rounders that were actually the still the pivot type, it's permanently affixed to the weapon. Those were something that the Chinese made to upgrade and expand their firepower without switching over to a magazine system that was one of the several solutions the chinese had because the the russians would not export the a k originally or allow for production of its designs overseas under a contract factory for the longest time well the chinese could get magazines but they couldn't get the gun so here's another thing that they did initially they did build an a an a k magazine well sks you probably see that they call them paratrooper rifles there's a number of other names for them but they were one of the many solutions to stretch out the life of the s k s uh... wall while they had so many in service and still bring the eight eight forty seven family into service for quote-unquote elite units first year for the guards units it when you see chinese or if you see uh... russian units and it's called like uh... guards unit that is supposed to be a higher grade or higher level of supply and training. And so those guard units usually got the upgrades and weapon systems first. When they went from the SKS to the AK in more dominant form, or from the combined arms team that they had, which was the, again, a centerfire rifle, which they never really got into, but the Tokarev kind of fits. The SKS, the Peppier submachine gun and the Nagat all were in service at the same time. They eventually went to a composite rifle or a single weapon system and that's where they went to the AK. But in the process they couldn't dump all those other firearms, nor they could afford to and it wouldn't make sense. So the SKS saw a lot of other modifications in the Chinese military especially. uh... to try to again upgrade or to enhance the weapon and whatever way they thought they'd never built a detachable specialized regular type that we developed in the united states we pretty well a perfected those and the detachable duck bill models that are out there pretty much work so if you've already got a gun that switched over uh... by more bags Might as well. However, I would also say this. If you don't have a standard 10 round mag for the rifle that is permanently affixed, you need to go find one that's cheap. Because you should have that on hand. For whatever reason, you lose all the mags. Then you reattach the original magazine system and you load with your thumb from the top. At the very least you can do that. If you lose all the mags, and that can happen down the road. I've told you a million times guys one at a time something's gonna get broken something's gonna get shot something is gonna get dropped and Sometimes you may even lose your whole combat load if that's the case then you're gonna be prepared Or you know ways that you can come up with solutions keep everything running So it will be attacks never forget. Yeah, don't ever throw anything out. Just put in a big box and save it There's the there's the basic rule if you do I was gonna say the other situation you might want to consider in that arena is instead of the 10 round fixed, go with the 20 round fixed. You can stick two stripper clips with ammo in that. Right. And it really doesn't stick down far below the gun. So if you're laying prone, it's not going to make a bit of difference. Yeah, it's still a relatively shallow rifle, which is another thing about trying to take advantage of terrain and making yourself a minimal target. Also, it has to do with cheek weld. I mean, guys, that 30-round mag underneath any weapon means that you have to compensate your having to thrust your body up to make a difference if you're especially in prone fire. So the advantage of having a few short mags for, for instance, prone ambush. I mean, everybody goes, well, no, you'd want the biggest thing you could. Well, you know what? I'll tell you what. The beta mags are good for that, too, by the way. The beta drums? Because when you lock it in, look at how much lower you actually are. with a configuration of the of the drum like that but otherwise if you've got to raise your shoulders and head up you're the tall blade of grass. Yeah and it's a weebo wobble thing you're you know what happens is and you'll see this with with shooters over and over again because it takes a little more free to get control of the weapon you have a tendency to even if you've controlled your breathing You're stretching out your breath and you're starting to get a little weeb-o-wobbly and that's where you lose the potential for a better first-round hit. So the important thing here again is wherever you can engineer the gun accordingly or work with something that's going to accommodate your needs, you might want to take advantage of that. Example, I carry 20 rounders and 30 rounders with the AR-15 rifles. At least have a handful of the 20s a round. It brings down that much closer to the surface and for that matter, couple of five rounders for the AK and or for the AR are not a bad thing. They'll be flush with the magazine well because even if it is a, you know, even though it's a five round mag they still got to have enough earth, you know, body to get up into the magazine well and be able to extract it when the time comes. For the AR-15, for the AK we got access all the way up to the bottom of the receiver. In any case, the big thing here is take advantage of these deals with some of the stuff we just actually ran into. And again, Centerfire system has the bundle of 10 of the Duckbill SKS 40 round SKS mags for $100. Both Centerfire and Classic have $250 SKS's. In this case, it's with the crack stock. Doesn't say it's a broken stock. They don't have, or they show a picture of it. classic what they're talking about again you can still find sks stocks out there laying around regular sks stocks if you like that um... nice tight little package don't have any problem whatever your preference is uh... move towards it but you know get it done quick because this is a tactical weapon solution and yet somebody else's oh my god mark you see what they want for a naga rifle yes yes i see that caller and i told you though 60 dollar nay guns are gone. Yeah, there are none. Unless you pick up one of the yard sale or something like that, that's the only way that's going to happen now. I'm wondering if those SKS cracks are down in the groove for the bayonet. No, it's where it is. It's at the base. You know what happens is you've got a shock bar across all of the stock. I don't care what it is. If it's got a wooden stock, see where that bolt you where you have that little four groove for four grip groove on the bar on the front of the stock. Right behind you'll see what looks like a bolt. Well, a nut. Okay. Well, it is. It's actually a bar and the upper of the receiver. Basically, that's where most of your thrust takes place. It's not going to bounce back and forth. It's very snug. However, the back of the stock, when the energy travels through, because it is wood, it's organic, what happens is, along the grain, you'll get a stress fracture, and they're showing a good picture of two of them on the stock. Now, here's a little hint. What would you do if you were a military arsenal armorer or a field armorer? You know what they would do? They would run brass through there. They would run brass, a brass screw. First of all, they'd open it up, clean it a little bit. They try to insert an adhesive of whatever kind they could. They would then run a bore hole through the stock. They would then take a brass rod, or they would better still take a brass wood screw. They would bore it through to the other side, but they wouldn't suck the head down to the stock, to the body of the stock. drill they would they would thrust it so far so that it would be sticking out the other side from one end and the head would still be exposed and away from the body of the stock and you break out the hacksaw you cut off the metal on both sides polish accordingly or you know work with lapping or with them with a grinder if you've got it because it's a military weapon it's not a showpiece and they would brass pin those That's what they that's the fast quick solution for that but you would try to use an adhesive so that you help to bond that together and lock it that much that much more efficiently. That would give you a good additional life on what is basically a simple stock item but stocks are You know, in a military situation, you may not have any spare parts, and this is an armor repair that is normal. The other option is that you would also, you've seen these with a lot of the Afghan and Chinese and even some of the Indian rifles in the infields. Where they have a damaged stock like this, you will wrap 10, real 10, okay, around that area. You still do everything I was just talking about. You'll take and clean out that crack, because usually crud, dirt, maybe even lubricant. but you want to clean that out. You can either air press it or you can take a pin or a needle and you work all the material out you can. You take, obviously you're going to take the stock right off the weapon when you're doing all of this. Then you follow through and wrap, just like we're talking about, you would wrap with pin from where the receiver rests back along the pistol grip, the arc of the area where your hand grips. and that would be of course not up that you would still do the basic and roger's to move we're talking about with a screw and uh... it's that much more heavily reinforced now in some cases they didn't even just brass packet i've seen that with many of the different weapons are very good all the other that will be our work bracket repair by the way i'm a military u.s. military rifle is considered acceptable also Then in the field, if you go to any of the armorers manuals from World War II, World War I, and actually before that, if you go through the arsenal manual, it will explain to you all the processes for repair on stocks like this. And it would be serviceable. I wouldn't be fearful of the thing blowing apart. You would actually identify if there was additional stress issues, and then eventually you'd be also scouting for replacement stock anyway. This is an arsenal, this is a field armourer's solution for repair so that you can keep all your weapons functioning when you might be short supply. I mean if you agree, if you're flush material and equipment, you just pull the stock and chuck it over and they're in the repair bin. If you got to it, you got to it. If in the meantime you got more, you had more guns that you could cannibalize, you probably wouldn't worry about using a stock like this. But in reality, most countries are poor and or they you know, they're frugal, which is cool. It's not so much poverty as being frugal and it would still be functional. So that's the other solution. As we said, we'll mark up in America. Yeah, you can go buy a stock. We'll buy a plastic stock and you're all done. And keep the old wooden one and stick it boy again. We're at the top. SKL's is good rifles. I can pop you one 300 yards with pretty much any meter out there and keep it within a pie plate. That's all I need to do. Especially if I'm even for your crotch. Ooh, that's mean. Yeah, but that's how it works. I want to make sure I keep the bullets on target. I want to crack them over your head. I want to put a bullet on you. God bless our republic. That's to the new world order. We shout for their ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. And we are on the march both day and night. We'll be back in one hour but meanwhile, thanks from Forbidden Knowledge, more live radio right here, Edward taking over, and it is Wednesday on Liberty Tree Radio. Welcome to another dangerous episode of Forbidden Knowledge. And hopefully anybody can hear me. Let me go back to doing some things here, reconnecting. Okay, I am on. Should be on Liberty radio live and I should be on YouTube live. Hopefully I'm having a problem getting some audio Okay, somebody says we can now hear on YouTube YouTube hasn't I tried to go on YouTube I couldn't get on audio for some reason. Okay, we are on the air now both Liberty radio Wednesday On the calling line to Okay, somebody on Liberty radio just says that I they can hear me there, too Okay, I had all your problems on YouTube and people were telling me can't hear I can't hear I can't hear you If you are listening, thank you, caller, if you're listening on Wednesday, February 5th of 2020, then we're live on Liberty Tree Radio and YouTube. If you want to watch the YouTube feed, if you're on Liberty Tree Radio, it is forbidTV, that's forbid spelled with two D's and TV, all one word, forbidTV on YouTube. Unfortunately, it might be kind of hard to find me. The only lighting source I have here right now, I got a flashlight I can use, but that's not gonna work. And I have the light from the computer that's at my side here. So visually, we don't see a whole lot here tonight. On YouTube, sorry, I didn't, I'm in a different van today. I had to do some things to get this van fixed, and I don't have my proper tripod and things that I usually bring with me. Okay, we're gonna talk about what's going on in the news. Just here a few hours ago a couple hours ago was snowing here. I'm in Michigan right now, and we're starting to get some accumulation here in Michigan. I don't know and we got the acquittal Donald Trump. I want to talk about this a little bit because this was just such a joke from the beginning. To know the outcome of it, okay, they keep calling it a trial. This is a trial? How is this a trial? The 100 jurors are also judges. They are I'm inherently biased right from the start because we know exactly how they're going to vote even before the trial starts. Doesn't sound like a jury of your peers to me. And not only that, but every break, the jury and judges run out in the hallway and talk to the press. What the hell is that? How is this a trial? This kind of mystifies me. And they only allow whatever evidence they want. In other words, they can vote for the majority rules, whoever the majority can vote to find out whether they want evidence or not. What the hell kind of trial? Why would you call this a trial? The outcome is known from the start. Only one Republican voted against Donald Trump, and that was Mitt Romney. But he was acquitted. He was acquitted on all charges. That was the outcome. And we knew this was going to happen before he even got into the Congress, let alone the Senate. So that's not a trial. Okay, call it something else. Call it his impeachment and the decision to remove him from office. But don't call it a damn trial. That wouldn't fly in this country. If you're watching from other countries, here in the United States, we generally are, especially in a criminal case, we are allowed a trial by jury. And that trial by jury would not be running out in the hall and talking to the press on every break. In fact, it'd be sequestered if it was more than a day at a time. We had to trial for more than a day. But yeah, no, we, these 100 members who were Decidedly biased from the start and that's another thing about our juries We're supposed to be we're supposed to demonstrate that we are unbiased when we go into a trial as a member of the jury You're supposed to be unbiased, but these people were not unbiased right from the start. Everybody knew that So don't call it a trial. I just got a little upset by them calling it a trial and Then last night Donald Trump doing his victories laps the best he could and when he knew he was gonna be Equated he didn't even talk about it on the state of the nation dress If you're not from the United States, you're listening from other countries, sorry, this is how I'm starting the show, talking about Donald Trump and what's going on with his trial and acquittal trial. But then last night, this is what also got me kind of upset. Now, I'm not Republican, I'm not Democrat, I'm an American. And getting kind of sick, as most, a lot of Americans are, of our politics. If you're a Democrat, you're just plain ignorant. If you're a Republican, you're just stupid. I mean, really, is Tweedlebee and Tweedledom, they're both the same thing. And I probably insulted a lot of people there, but hey, so be it. This program is not meant for kids. I probably had to check that before I started this live show. So no, Tweedlebee and Tweedledom, it doesn't matter. I used to watch British politics. Those of you in Parliament and those of you who have ever watched that happen and the yelling and screaming goes on, just have to laugh at it. Well, we've almost become that now. partisan politics in this country has become so, we've become so polarized that the outcome of a bill is known before it's even brought in because you are expected to vote what your party wants you to vote for. Or what the party doesn't want. In other words, if the Democrats want it, then as a Republican, you have to vote against it. That's the way it kind of is now. Back when I was young, I don't remember it being like that. I thought they kind of voted on the merits of the bill, whether or not it was a good bill, not what your party decided was best for the party. But that's what's happening to our country right now in the United States. We have become extremely polarized. It almost looks like what's going on in Britain. We don't yell as much in our congressional sessions yet like they do in Parliament, but it seems like it's getting there. So we've become a laughingstock of the nation, of the world with this so-called trial and what's going on in Washington right now. And I don't see any way out of it as long as you think there's a difference between Democrats and Republicans, then that's the way it's going to keep going. And we really don't see any difference between them. I mean, I don't. They're both Socialist Party. Might as well just call them Socialist. Call them what they are. Call them Socialist 1 and Socialist 2. We're Republican Socialists and Democratic Socialists. Call that! With Bruce Bernie Sanders is honest about it. He calls himself a Democratic Socialist. Or a Socialist Democrat. Whatever he calls himself. He's the only one being honest about it. But that's what we've got. And Donald Trump doing his victory dance. Now, last night, and I didn't watch it, I didn't have a chance to get to a TV anyway, I listened to a part of it, I'm doing other things at the same time, kind of listening to it. And here's the thing that really got me upset in a way, and many of you will agree and many of you will disagree, but at one point he gave Rush Limbaugh The what was it called a congressional presidential? Medal of Honor or something. I can't remember what it was called It's like a high esteem award presidential award based upon someone and I don't know if that's Could be anyone or this as military as to the or it's just civilian. I don't I didn't look it up in this Mel ahead. What was it? Melania had Melania put this medal around his neck and he's Well, whatever. Rush Limbaugh, and Phil, you don't know if you're not from this country, if not from the United States, Rush Limbaugh is a so-called conservative Republican talk show host that just always, he's always siding with the Republicans. Pretty much, that's all he does. And he's been doing that for decades. And recently, I heard on the news, he was diagnosed with, I think it was stage four lung cancer. So he's essentially dying, but he admitted such a few days ago on his show and on the news. But it's it's I'm also gonna take my lot of people who might be put up by this I think it was very wrong for Donald Trump given their work Here's why first of all he is extremely staunchly Pro-Republican if Obama or some other Democrat was in there. Do you think that award would have been awarded to the rush limbaugh? No again. Here's the partisan politics again and the division we're creating in this country is when you promote, when you give somebody such a high esteem award, somebody who is basically anti-democrat and pro-Republican all the way. In other words, if you're giving such an award as a president, wouldn't you pick somebody based on someone's achievements of whatever this person has done? Rush Limbaugh has been on the air for decades and he's well known in the United States, but what has he really done for the country? other than creating more division. I mean, honestly, that award, in my opinion, should be bestowed on someone who deserves it for something that he or she has done. I don't know if you're following me along here. If Obama was in office and Rush Limbaugh had stage four cancer, he wouldn't go up and give that congressional or whatever that Medal of Honor was, what they called it. Again, I forget what it was called. You get me? That doesn't make sense to me. That diminishes that award whatever it is and it's more dividing this country because I'm sure every Democrat sitting in that office in that in that Senate hall my light fell down here, which is my computer Probably was pretty disgusted by it as well. I wasn't disgusted because I'm a Democrat or Republican I discussed about cuz I'm American Put it as someone who's a true hero or somebody who has done something for the country or or something other than being Republican I mean that's essentially what I saw there and heard there when I heard that award being given I don't that's to me that's wrong okay we don't have to rant about that anymore I guess I talked about that with beer on YouTube here and this YouTube video by the way will be removed probably after a few days I put it up for a while gave everybody all my subscribers a chance to see it then I take it down So if you want to go back and see it, you'll have to kind of save a link. It'll still be there, you just won't be able to find it anymore. I'd make so many little mistakes and it's not well polished and I just make it hidden after a while. Just like people on Liberty Tree Radio can't hear me again after the one rebroadcast they do on Liberty Tree Radio of this particular show. And if you want to listen to any Liberty Tree radio, any of the programs on there, because I'm not only one, I'm only on once a week, one hour a week, on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. Eastern time. And you can go to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. If I try to, I'll try to find the, I'll put it in the description box later on the YouTube channel. Okay, I want to talk about some other things. The coronavirus is another one. And I can make an announcement here on Liberty Tree Radio, because my YouTube people already know about this. because I've had it up for a few days now. I went on the air also on Monday on Vincent Vinelli's show USA Prepares. I've been a friend of mine for a number of years and we talked about this. So many people are scrambling and I talked about this, probably talked about this fast, maybe I didn't. On my website, the one where I saw pepper supplies, I do forbidden knowledge.info, that's my main site, but on my website, A place where I spell things, which is called theprepperstop.com, and I rarely say that on this air, on this program. That particular site had a 3,000% increase over December, in January. In other words, January sales were 3,000% increase over December. And it's because of this coronavirus thing. So many people are scrambling. And in this case, almost all the fails in December, I'm sorry, January, the increase, were gas masks and gas masks related. Which is really the wrong thing to be getting for this. And I try to tell people, I put a couple of YouTube videos, I try to dissuade people from buying gas masks for this. But they're buying anyway, but you know who listens to me anyway, right? Who listens to my show who watches my youtube channel not a whole lot of people I don't got six people watching right right this moment on YouTube so I only got 17,000 subscribers and generally when I go live like this the most I ever get is like 20 people at a time Depending on when they go on I don't go on live very often So who cares what I think right they'll just don't go by anyway, but anyway I did my duty my due diligence I try to talk people out of buying a gas mask for this I have something more appropriate now that I want to know now, especially for the Liberty Tree Radio audience, and it's up on theprepperstaff.com. If you want to see this, you'll have to click on the GASK MASK page to find it. And that is, I have in my hand here that you can't see on Liberty Tree Radio, a Department of Defense, there's a Department of Defense seal on it, Pandemic Flu Preparedness Kit. Now this is much more appropriate and it's a lot less expensive than buying a gas mask. Probably the gas mask, you can't wear a gas mask or You should have been wearing it last two months. If you think you're gonna buy a gas mask to protect you from potential flu, you should have been wearing it for two months already. And let's see how you're gonna eat and drink and how you're gonna sleep and how you're going to brush your teeth and deal with your face, which will be a giant bed sore. Okay, so no, you can't wear a mask all the time. You should have been wearing... If you really think you're buying a gas mask, that's what you would have to do. The only way you can use a gas mask for a biological incident is to know you are being attacked at that moment in time because you could be being attacked and not even know it. If it's a biological. If it's a chemical, okay, you might smell it, you might start feeling burning cessation, you might feel it. You might be, and you can even detect it with a military has these detector strips and there's things you can do to detect chemicals. Okay, that's a different story. Put the gas mask on. A biological, you don't have anything to do that with, unless you are a lab and you know how, and you can do it. Not with the biologicals. Now, you'll get the protection, but you won't be able to do it unless you're wearing gas masks 100% of the time. Good luck with that. Okay, so what I have here for those of you who want to check it out and I went on eBay right here before the show and I can look here again if I didn't remove that page, there it is. On eBay right at this moment in time, I'm checking price, so I'm trying to make sure that I have a low price. This kit right now on eBay is called one of them is here for $12, free shipping. Another one, well that's a good price, $12 free shipping. If I were to send this out, it's going to cost me like eight bucks to send to somebody. Alright, so that's a good price there. Here's another one for $19.99 with free shipping. Here's another one for $21.97. No shipping. Here's one up for bid and right now the current bid is $6.51. It's got four more days ago. Here's one for $14.95. No shipping. Here's one for $9.98. No shipping. Here's one for $39.99. Okay, so we're talking in the neighborhood of you average these out. They're probably going to be a neighborhood of 15 bucks or so. But you got them as low as, what was the lowest one here? Well, $12 with free shipping is probably the lowest price here actually. I have these on the website for $10 each. But if you buy five of them, I've got them for $1 off each. So, $9 each. If you buy 10 of them, I got them for $2 off each, meaning $8 each. And if you buy a whole case of 21, that's what they come with. I didn't make that number up. Case of 21 is $7 each. So, they go down $1 with each increment you buy. So, $7 each plus shipping. And I just shipped the case off here just a little while ago to North Carolina from Michigan where I'm at right now. And it cost me like $21 to ship and it takes... About five days. It has to go ground because there's the liquid in there. I'm going to show you what's in here. Well, the liquid, I might as well show you now. The reason the postal regulations, this bottle of, it's actually Purell brand, I'm not trying to advertise for them, but it's a four ounce bottle of hand sanitizer and it's 62% ethyl alcohol. And postal regulations would require that to go ground. So it'll take a little bit longer when I ship these out than if I were sending air or some of them. But that's all I have to spend them to the postal service. Inside this kit, besides the hand sanitizer to show you, here's what everybody's looking for. Because everybody's telling me you can't buy them, can't buy them, can't buy them. Well, I have. And that is two of these N95 face masks. That's N95, Nancy 95. These are the ones that will protect you. These are the ones that you are supposed to be wearing if you are the caretaker for somebody sick. It has four of these masks in it, which are the type that hook around the ears and go over your nose and mouth. They're generally called surgical masks. These are one the patients are supposed to wear. So you have two for the caretaker and four for the patient. And you also have, and by the way, and there's a little funny thing I thought somebody would mention, these surgical masks here that I'm showing on the screen. Made in China, the irony. And then there's this booklet, this little pamphlet here. It's basically instructions. How to care for somebody, how to protect yourself, what to do. So inside this kit you have these six masks, the instructions, the hand sanitizer and then of this outer package. And this is what our government, meaning the United States, would be or should be if they were competent enough. And I say that if, if things work out the way they're supposed to. The idea was these kits would be given, presumably given for free out to civilians to use in their care for their loved ones who may be sick at home with a flu. That's the intent of these packages. I have pallets of them. So as long as things don't escalate too much, I probably won't run out. I had to pay a little bit more because I didn't have these before the thing came about, before all this. And so when that happens, I wasn't prepared, as I should have been if I should have had palaces sitting around, right? Well, I didn't. So I bought them, I'd had to give them a little higher price because I didn't buy them before. There's no dates on these. So you can store them away and keep them for the next thing that comes up. if the coronavirus doesn't become what everybody wants it to become, for whatever reason. There's so much fear for an out there and so many people just desperately needing this to be something it isn't so they can say the world's coming to an end or we're all gonna die or whatever. That's the way people seem to be today. I don't get it. And I'm going to do a little bit of debunking on some of that because I watched this and I'm kind of laughing at all this. You'll find a thousand videos on YouTube every day about the coronavirus coming up. And very few of them actually step back and say, well now wait a minute, and examine the numbers and look at things. And so that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to step back a little bit and examine things and show you about this. OK, so before I get off of that topic now, those kids are on theprepperstop.com. And they have them selling much more than the gas masks now, which I'm very happy about that because That's going to be your more appropriate thing to buy than a gas mask. And you're not really going to be able to wear the mask all the time either. Here in the United States, unlike Asia or Japan, for instance, and we've seen this on TV, common for people to wear Surgical type masks in public. This is part of their culture. We see that all the time. We don't in this country, we don't see that. Very rarely would you ever see anything like that. You could go a whole year and maybe only see one person ever wearing a mask like that. And I still haven't seen it here in this country. I haven't been seeing masses of people wearing face masks. Okay, so that's the way it is in this country. Your country may be different. And as far as a gas mask goes, you could get away with probably wearing a surgical mask in this day and age here in the United States. But you couldn't get away with wearing a gas mask out in public and get away with it. You see, there's a lot of laws, local laws as well, about wearing a mask in public here in the U.S. And during a national crisis, if there was one, there isn't one in this country, it wouldn't be out of the question to be wearing a paper mask over your face. And probably nobody would hassle you for it. But if you walked into a, somewhere, let's say a bank, wearing a gas mask, you're probably gonna have guns drawn on you, okay? You can't do that here in this country. Now, if there's bodies laying in the street and you're wearing a gas mask, well, that's a different story. But that's about the only time you're gonna be able to wear a gas mask in public. in this country or else unless you're in the middle of a riot or something like that. That's about the only time you ever see anybody wearing gas masks in the United States. So don't think you're going to wear a gas mask anywhere in the US unless things got really bad. And things have not got really bad. They might be really bad in China and even that is questionable by all the things I've been seeing. Now, okay, let's step back here a little bit and try to put this in perspective. I know people love your fear porn and you want to run with it into something that is juicy sounding that you can tell all your friends that you're all going to die. People love that, but no, you're not going to die. Here's the thing with this coronavirus. First of all, and I don't know the designation number, I didn't write it down. It has a number, and they all do, all these viruses have a number. This one is 2019-CoV37 or something stupid like that. And that's the way viruses are designated. Now this one that they call it a novel virus and they give it a name. Oh boy, a name! Now we can talk about it easier on the press. We want to demonize something. We won't have to say 2019-COV 30 something or whatever the hell it is. So we can just call it the coronavirus. It's like we might have called it the bird flu or the slime flu or the SARS or whatever. Those are the only ones you hear about, the ones that give names. So let's give this one a name so we can ramp up the fear even more. That's kind of the way. So the novel virus essentially it means that if it's one that they didn't expect, it's kind of a new one, when they make a vaccine for the flu every year here in this country in the US, they take their best guesses about which viruses are going to be the ones prevalent that they might want to try to protect, and they want to try to vaccinate with you, to you in the vaccine. And so they make an educated guess and sometimes they hit it, sometimes they don't. And this one is a new one. So this was what we call novel virus. And it's because it was basically it was unknown. They didn't know what they're not sure what to do with it at the time. And now they're learning more and more as we go. But here's the latest numbers of what's going on right now. I'm using my piece of paper here. 25,000, this is rough numbers here. 25,000 cases in China of this coronavirus. And we had 490 deaths. in China due to this coronavirus. Outside of China, in 24 other countries, there are a total of 191 cases of this coronavirus in 24 countries, 191 cases in 24 countries, with one death in the Philippines. That's the latest numbers I was able to get. So this morning it changes day to day and it's been growing. They say it's been redid- you see here different things. It's growing or it's slowing down or whatever. But that's the latest number they have. Let's just take those numbers. Now in the United States, I think last I heard there were like 10 or 11 cases in the United States. And one of the cases, the first case I've heard, the man that got it, I think he was a 35 year old in Seattle. Washington, I believe, is where he is from. He was the first in the country to be confirmed to have it. He's now been released from the hospital. So not only did he survive, but he's gotten better and he's been released. So no one's died here in the U.S. Each year in the United States, we have between, again, round numbers here, normally we would expect to see between 9,000 and 50,000 deaths in just the United States from the flu every year. We repeat that. We would expect to see in the US every year between 9,000 and 50,000 deaths in the United States each year. This coronavirus has worn so far worldwide, other than China. If you include China, then almost 500 deaths worldwide. Remember those numbers I just gave you were from the United States. between 9,000 and 50,000 of us would be expected to die from the flu every single year. So why are we ramping up the fear with this? We've had maybe 11 cases and none of those are deaths in the United States, but yet we want to pretend like we're all going to die. Could it get out of hand? I suppose it could get out of hand. It doesn't even sound like it's got out of hand. In China, for the most part, unless the numbers were given, they're wrong. And okay, a lot of people argue, well, they're not telling you your numbers, okay? Look at all the other numbers. You got more than 100 other countries reporting, and we have 191 cases worldwide. Are all the other countries lying to you? Come on, get real. You want to go with the worst public case scenario and find something stupid that somebody like Richie from Boston says on YouTube or Hal Turner says on his radio broadcast or Alex Jones says or whatever No, 191 cases in the whole world outside of China So far it seems like it's fairly well contained in China China may have a bigger problem than they're telling us I don't know it doesn't matter at least to the rest of us It matters if you're in China and it's going to wreck their economy for a while, but in the past People are saying it's a bioweapon. They're eliminating populations in China, and there's all sorts of other things people are just saying all over the internet. And I'm not buying into any of them. I know that fear sells. How do I know that? Because I'm selling a lot of stuff because of all the fear being pushed around out there. And not that I'm... Yes, I'm trying to make money, but I'm also not... ...rising the alarm and trying to scare you to buy from me. If you want to buy, you can. I'm telling you offhand, I don't think you need to, especially a gas mask. But if you want to get a flu pandemic hit, okay, that's a logical thing to have. Pretty inexpensive. You could have a sitting there in case it does get bad. It probably won't, but it's something you could prepare for if you want. And that's why I also tell them in kits of fives or tens or even full cases of 21, your friends and family, you might want to pass them out to your brother and your sister and whatever. You might want to pass them around to other people. You know, that's why I reduce prices for kids. But at least I do my due diligence and try to bring this down into perspective and not try to become one of the fear mongers because I know for yourselves because they do it all the time. There are a few who do this, there are after donations. Now, I'm anti-fear here. I'm trying to calm you down and at least now I have a clean conscience about selling things that people are running for. So that's my position on that. Now, why don't... Okay. Taking those numbers, we expect deaths in just the United States. I'm not talking about any other country here. In the United States, we expect 9,000 to 50,000 deaths per year. That would mean, since we are in the middle of the flu season here in the US, February is about the middle of the flu season, we probably have had thousands of deaths due to the flu. Just the regular old flu that we get every single year. Maybe more, maybe less. I haven't seen the current numbers. In fact, two years ago, 80,000 people died in the US on a flu season, two years ago. Last year, I think it was 61,000. Don't remember all the numbers off the top of my head. So it sometimes gets more than what we would typically expect between 9,000 and 50,000, or 9,000, it's at 49,000, whatever. So, here we are halfway through the flu season, so we probably already had maybe anywhere from 5,000 to 25,000 deaths already in the United States, in this country, due to the flu. Are we shutting down airports? Are we quarantining cities? Are we telling people to stay at home? Are we doing all these things that China's doing for 25,000 cases and only 500 deaths? See, I'm trying to put a little perspective here for you. Why aren't these things being done in this country? Or worldwide for that matter. Because a whole lot more people have died in this country, due to the virus. Can you hear me? Yes I can. I'm going to throw something out there because Joshua on his program threw this up and it is a good point. You're making a good point there, but you also have to take into consideration time and distance with this thing. As fast as it has moved since it's been announced, it has done more damage than the fluid has done in the same period of time. And you do have to acknowledge that with the numbers that are there. Yeah, it's grown pretty fast, but the still numbers are very very low compared to even the regular flu is what I'm yes But you're when with the regular flu that you're talking about you're talking about yours worth the data not months well You're comparing basically you're comparing a pool that is the size of 300 360 days for the year to a pool that's only been like two or three months Yes About 90% of the people that die in the flu of the flu is during flu season, which is between the peaks of February, but it starts right after Thanksgiving roughly and goes through the beginning of April or the end of March, something like that. So yeah. And that's only if your numbers that you're talking about, Craig, include the US. If you're talking about CDC, they give out national numbers and international numbers, and you've got to know which ones you're looking at. So, some people were asking if you would clarify which numbers are you going by. Are you going by the world numbers? Because the flu season is not the same everywhere in the world. Correct. Yeah, and I did get the numbers I told specifically. In the United States, every year, we expect to see typically between 9,000 and 50,000 deaths per year just in the United States. And so far, and we're only halfway through the flu season right now for this year, China had 25,000 cases, roughly, has cases, and some of those now have already been there recovering as well. 25,000 cases in China and 490 deaths as of this morning in China. And worldwide, the rest of the countries, the other 24 more countries reporting cases, there is 191 cases total in 24 cases. And in those countries, one death and that happens to be in the Philippines. of everybody out of China. So yeah, I do those numbers. And I'll just try to put it as perspective, and that's a lot of different flus combined. It's not just one strain of flu. We're just talking about one strain of fluid here with the coronavirus. And so far, and yes, it can spread really quickly, and that's our modern day reality here of air travel. I mean, there's almost no way around it unless you just stop all air travel. And that's not only not practical, but it's not even not likely whatsoever. Even if this thing came out to be a major epidemic, airplane travel would have already spread it anyway. That's just where our world is today. No, but with a proper quarantine, Craig, you can minimize the spread, especially out of the major zone where you know you have most infected people, which if the government, if they were taking it seriously, we wouldn't have another plane full of possibly infected people coming into California. They would have picked another location and we have islands, dad pointed this out, we have islands all over the Pacific with bases that have facilities. They don't have to come to the mainland. The only reason you do that is if you are trying to spread something. You know, you create a holding area. That's what Ellis Iowa was in New York for incoming immigrants. Why did we hold them there? In case they had some disease or something else they were bringing into the country and we didn't want them to just be able to walk off the base, which they've already had two people try to do from that original quarantine group. Okay, well, I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that. I'm just... our air travel... you won't be able to stop air travel from China. Now China... In China's defense, and I've seen so much on the internet about, oh, they eat bat soup and all these, and they eat dirty animals and all this, okay, fine, fine dandy, the people are really playing that up pretty good. But this time, compared to SARS that happen in China as well, they're doing remarkably better, at least what we can see, about not only being one of the first things I heard about this happening in China is the Chinese government is basically telling the local governments You will not cover up the numbers this time you will report them or else you will be Prosecuted or whatever that the Chinese government this time has seemed to gone out of their way to make sure It doesn't happen the same way it did before they're doing a better job. What are they doing? Well, no, I I'm not going to judge that but it seems like they're doing a lot better Oh, and by the way SARS Speaking of SARS Less than 1,000 people died in the entire world of SARS. You see, give it a name and play it up. That's what we're seeing again here, in my opinion. SARS and all these other ones that supposedly, the ones they give a name to, those are the ones they're gonna play up. And yet more people die of these other ones than the ones they give the names to, but gotta have something to fear for about. So they give it a name, a common name, instead of a weird number and combination of letters. And that, when we can play up on the news. And that's kind of what we're seeing here. So, yeah, SARS, did you know that? Go look it up. SARS, I think it was 774 people were confirmed killed by the SARS virus. That was in 2003, I think it was, in China, and that started in China. Yeah, worldwide. And we had air trouble then. Maybe not as much as we do now, but we still had air trouble. So I'm trying to put this in perspective. Now it could get worse. I'm not saying it's not gonna get worse. I'm not gonna say it's gonna get really bad and get out of hand. What I'm saying, I'm trying to put it in perspective. The regular flu is what we should be more worried about in this country, but yet we don't because they don't put a funny name on it and start promoting it. Two years ago, we had one of our biggest flu seasons, our biggest meaning worst flu seasons here in the US. The years 2017 and 2018, I believe it was the flu season years. And because 80,000 people roughly died. And we heard about flu on the news and we hear about it on occasion. But they don't put a name on it and we don't ever hear about quarantines or anything else. But it sounds like maybe we should be. If we're going to start talking about quarantining airplanes coming in from other countries, now from China that might be an issue because especially from the Wuhan Province, that is the heart of the problem and maybe they should quarantine. And then I've heard about cruise ships being quarantined and airplanes and so on. And that may be a proper thing to do. Maybe not. I don't know. I'm not a medical expert when it comes to viral diseases and spreading of the contaminated, these, these, these diseases that can spread. I'm not an expert. And you can downplay all you want, the CDC and any other government agency. But something's being done, right? It's not like they're not doing anything. Well, do you want to be quarantined like China does? It has been is doing right now. Do you want to be all your cities be shut down in your economy to stop because thousands of people are dying. Craig, I would say that if the CDC was taking it seriously, at least you'd have a little less to worry about, because they are the ones that are playing it up that it is this big bad virus and it could spread real easily. But you've got the head of the CDC up there saying that you can't quarantine. air travel from there for US citizens because that would be profiling and it's not just US citizens. You need to really just lock down that area or if you're going to bring people out you fly them into a quarantine zone where they can't walk off the base where they are isolated. But you're not seeing that with this group. They're not serious about it. And you talk about this all the time. Are people that are in charge of nuclear biological and chemical defense in this country right now, they don't take it seriously at all. You take it more seriously than most of them do. In fact, I think the head of the CDC right now is a horse breeder. He doesn't have a medical background. Yeah, well, we definitely don't have much of a preparedness. much of a preparedness in this country, certainly not nuclear. And maybe, now this was a surprise to me in a way that I saw these kits on the surplus market. It's from the Department of Defense, Pandemic Flu Preparedness Kit. The guy who initially bought these, he had about 10 pallets of them, and they aren't dated. So, as far as I can tell, there's nothing in there that would go old, get old, or get bad. So there doesn't seem to be a reason to surplus them out. Now maybe they were made of updated kit and they were surplusing all the old ones. Maybe they do this on a regular basis anyway. I don't know the answer to that. But at least it's satisfying to know that these things are out there. Hopefully these were replaced, these ones I have here. Hopefully they are just getting rid of them because then I will never need those. It's bureaucracy, dude. I can tell you what happened there because we see it all the time. Dad's talked about it. I've seen it. with my experience of going with Dad to the auction house, somebody came in to a position of power that they had no business being in and they wanted to show they were the boss and they said, we're going to clear out all this old inventory. Not realizing that all that old inventory probably can't be replaced and the person who bought it will probably be approached later and told that they want to buy it back. But if we move on it quick, there won't be anything for them to buy back. We saw this happen when we bought the radio equipment from the University of Michigan. Same reason. Oh, well surely they're not going to sell their primary backup for the radio transmitter. They wouldn't be that stupid. Well, we bought the equipment. They came back to us trying to buy it back because the person who was in charge wanted to show he was in charge and signed off on selling that equipment. I guarantee you that's probably what happened with that stuff. That's the same thing that usually happens with surplus equipment that's sitting on the shelf for emergencies when somebody new steps into power and wants to show that they are in charge. Well, hopefully our government, being the US, has replaced these kits and not just sold them. I don't know the answer to that. I hope they haven't sold our primary ones. There doesn't appear to be, since there's no dates on it and nothing in there that seems like it could expire, so to speak, I don't see the regular rotation with what they call inspection dates on things, like they do with MREs, for instance, where they know that they can degrade and they're going to put dates on them. There's no dates on here whatsoever, data manufacture or anything, on these kits. And, ten talents, that's a drop in the bucket compared to what there probably should be all around the country. That might only be for not even a region. That probably wouldn't even be enough for a state. Certainly wouldn't be enough for a state. Well, that is... If they're planning to give you the dose. Because the flu kits, do we know what's in them? Do they have flu shots? Do they have vaccines? Do they have antibiotics? Because all of those things would have an expiration date. Yeah, so one thing in here... Yeah. As far as this kit goes, we've got the hand sanitizer, which is 62% ethyl alcohol. That's the liquid in it. And then all the masks will have these elastic straps that after a long time, these straps can be a little more stiff or they might snap when you put them on. So there might be a reason to replace them every 10 years or something. I don't know how long these kits would actually, how things would degrade in here. That's the only thing I can think of in this kit is the elastic straps on the masks that would likely deteriorate. By the way, the hand sanitizer is the same stuff you can buy in the grocery store, Purell hand sanitizer. And here's another thing, for those of you in, I don't know how it is in the grocery stores yet, I don't believe you're, I think you're still gonna be able to find things like Now, hand wipes, I think they even have some here. I sometimes use these things from the grocery store. You can get them. I'm not trying to promote any brands here, but here's one by Equate Antibacterial Hand Wipes. Now, it doesn't say antiviral, but okay. And then you've got wipes like packaged like this. You've got wipes that are packaged in different ways. You can get it from the grocery store. You ought to have some of those. You might want to have some disposable rubber gloves, latex or whatever, and those might be hard to get now, I don't know some of these things, there's been a run on them. So besides, if you want to buy the kit, that's one thing, you get the masks and the hand sanitizer, but you can get the hand sanitizer at the grocery store or pharmacies or whatever. The wipes, you might want to get some cloyal silver, cloyal silver is good for disinfectant, you might want to get some fresh bleach, other types of difficits of infection, maybe some spray type disinfectants. I might want to get some colloidal silver, I said that one, what else? I'm trying to think in my mind what else? Maybe some disposable kitchenware, paper plates, spoons, things. So that stuff could be thrown away instead of having to wash and reuse. There's things you can do right now to prepare things you can just get in your grocery store Unfortunately, you're not going to find the bat master easily I or the things like the Tyvek suits you probably won't be able to find those a lot of stuff has been a run on this stuff I still have the gas mask, but that's the wrong thing and I'd have I have other things but the miss of the pandemic kits the pandemic is that's what really should be sold and not the other stuff that I have so that's the only thing I have that's really that appropriate unless it comes to bodies in the streets and that's We are a long way from that. Give me 50,000 deaths in the United States of coronavirus alone, just the United States, then we'll talk. You see, that's where I'm coming from. We're going to have, we might have 50,000 deaths this year just due to the flu. So if we have 50,000 cases of just the coronavirus, well then maybe we got a problem. You see what I'm saying here? That's what I'm trying to come up through. I'm trying to put things in perspective so you realize we aren't anywhere near China, which China is doing. And even China might not be an extreme case, as you might think, with just the regular flu. I'd like to see the numbers for China, and I started looking for Chinese numbers, and I couldn't find them online. Maybe the government doesn't release those numbers. I want to see how many people die to the flu in China every year. You'll be hard pressed to find anything from China online on the US internet. Keep in mind China has their internet filtered from ours. We can't access Chinese internet and they can't access our internet. Not unless you know how to use the back doors or the black web or whatever BS terminology you want to use for it. But primarily, yeah, their internet is a lot different than ours. Their internet is completely government regulated. And a lot of it would have been in Chinese. You and I would be able to read it anyway without translators. So that's another problem. But yeah, I couldn't find numbers for China because I would get... You can find some pretty good translators, Craig. Copy and paste, even if you just use Google Translate. Copy and paste some Chinese and throw it in there. I think they're using Dragon for the primary translator on Google. It'll do a pretty good job of translating it roughly to what it's supposed to be. Yep, I have used it for all such languages and yes you can but when you have a whole page It's hard to you only need you could only really do paragraphs at a time or section. Okay, is this part is this just an advertisement? Or was this it's really hard to translate when the language is so different than ours and yes You can use it and at least you get an idea I've done that with other languages. I've done it with full pages at a time Craig You just you punch in a solid line of text. It will translate it It won't necessarily, it'll have a couple of misses, but you'll get the gist of what they're talking about. Right, that's about all you can really do is get a gist and then, yeah, but you can use that. But anyway, yeah, I couldn't find numbers. I didn't look a long time because I was realizing, well, there's nothing here. At least on the English language version, so I stopped looking but based on the population of China I would say their numbers are gonna be quite similar to ours I bet the last 50,000 to 100,000 deaths every year due to the flu the regular flu every year. That's just a guess I don't know that we can't find I couldn't find the numbers Well, you're talking about your lead. They all there also they got a billion They have billions of people in their population. You have areas of their culture that are not as tech savvy as the rest, so your numbers are going to be a skew from that right off the bat. But again, the numbers that I've seen that people pointed out to me again for this virus and compared to the flu virus when you're going with China. in the short window where this has been acknowledged and active and tracking, it has been a big degree. But there has been a little over panic on it and a little under response in some areas. Like we said, if it is a real... outbreak. You know, they're over there in China. We're over here in the US and I don't have a medical degree and I'm not over there. So I can't really tell you how things are going there. But if we were going to take it seriously, we actually have, or at least we used to with civil defense, how to deal with infectious diseases like this with people coming into the country, whether you got a passport or not, or whether you were from here or not, you would end up at a holding point until your quarantine is up. You wouldn't be brought into the body of the country. Yeah, and I don't know the present day policies and procedures or when these kits would be distributed. I would think they probably wouldn't want to do that until it became a big problem. Otherwise, you're just starting to scare people more. So unless it got worse than the actual flu, like we get on an everyday basis, which they've never passed these out that I'm aware of, I don't ever recall seeing any of these being passed out. I remember hearing on the radio here recently too that some school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, some of the public schools were closed down because of the flu. And that's this year. And it wasn't because of this coronavirus, it was just the flu. In Washington, Craig, some of the schools were closed down and kids were being held hostage because they didn't have the flu shot. I don't know if that was the case of what was going on in Michigan, but I do know about the cases in Seattle, Washington, where they made it mandatory for children to get the flu vaccine and people hadn't done it. So they were holding their kids who showed up for school and told them they can't go to school, but they weren't going home until their parents had proven. that they had a plan to get them vaccinated or that they had the proper religious excuse for not having it. And of course, nothing but a certain ethnic group was denied the ability to deny it on religious reasons. Here goes your profiling right there. So, yeah, what I'm trying to do here in the end here, and I'm almost done, almost out of time here, I'm trying to put this in perspective, it's not a huge problem in the US, it's not a huge problem in the world, not a huge problem, it's a problem, but it's a minor problem compared to just the flu. It really is, so far. It could get worse. It's not a huge problem in the world yet, but they're making it out to be a huge problem in the mainstream media, and if it was, if we're going to believe the mainstream media, or if you're listening and you think that we're all conspiracy nuts, you should be asking yourself, If this is as big a problem as they say it is, how come they are not taking it seriously? Uh-huh. But nobody is, well, obviously based on the sales I'm getting on my website, 3,000% increase in January, I think some people are taking it seriously. Unfortunately, those people that are taking it seriously are probably the ones that are believing the hype on shows like Hal Turner or whatever else, films or whatever, Paul Begley, all these people that are really hyping it up like, you know, this is prophecy, we're all gonna die, and it says so in the Bible, or whatever. They come up with all this stuff to get more fear going, to sell more product, or get donations, or whatever. This is what we see time and time again with the fear mongering, is ramp it up because they know fear fails. And I'm being first-hand witness of that right now. If there was a nuclear meltdown in this country, I would be slomp with orders. I know that, because I have 10,000 radiation detectors in stock, more than 10,000. So I know that I would be slomped, because for yourself, even though I'm sitting there, I'll be telling people, there's no reason to panic. People will be panicking, because they would rather believe the lies than the truth. They'd rather believe assertions and lies and fear rather than common sense facts. This is where our human race seems to be working. And the internet's not helping much. Because literally you can go on YouTube and find a thousand stories a day posting new ones. And only a few of them will be, hey, people relax. Look at this. It looks like this is what I'm trying to do right now. But nobody watches my channel. This video will only get maybe 200 views in the next three days. That's about it. That's all the only people I reach. So I'm only one person. I can't speak for everybody. And I don't ever do fear porn, really. If there's a reason to be fearful, I might be, but I'm not fearful of this. We are at the top of the arc, Greg. Real quick, as far as people who are going on about the nuclear issue with the ocean there on the California side, Consider the dump sites that we have for nuclear waste that we have dumped in the ocean there for years. The ones that have been declassified, look at where it is and look at your ocean currents. And tell me where you think the radiation, if you are detecting any over there, is coming from. You think it's coming from China, or do you think it's coming from our own waste? Depends. Decades, actually, not you. Decades, 14 countries for many decades were dumping nuclear waste in various oceans all around the world. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but we can we can look up the declassified ones that we that they will confirm and take a look at where they are and look at the areas where they're saying there's heightened radiation and scratch your head. Well, it's not there is no heightened radiation. That's the thing. You don't see heightened radiation along the California coast. You just don't. I know, but that's what that's what people are. claiming where they're getting where they've claimed to get these high readings in the ocean waters you can pretty much lay over these spots and it's like yeah well you could be we might have some leaky barrels down there you know we dumped them in uh steel drums into salt water how long do you think they're gonna last Yeah, what's funny is and I know I have to go here soon in a minute What funny is the Fukushima fear mongering is kind of taking a backseat right now to the corona virus So businesses down for Fukushima fear mongers. It's pretty funny. I don't see too many videos coming out right now It's all coronavirus. We have we have better things to fear mongers. What profitable things appear longer than for the people Okay, my time is up on literature radio.

His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right. Pray to God to keep the torch of freedom bright as Iowoki vanished in the midst from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right. We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the people? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Kirkty. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest, east, northeast, and south. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on PrettyTreeRadio.4mg.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com in memoriam, and we are on AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and UltraNet hallmark in Golden Spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska Good evening to all of our friends out there in lower 49 which includes the great state of Jefferson along with CONUS the outlying states, the outlying territories and the clock right now it is 806 p.m. Eastern Standard Time it is the fifth February, it is Weapons Wednesday. Twelfth year of open Fabian, Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K. 2020 Old Earth Calendar, 2020 Year of Battle. And then there's Weapons Wednesday, so for everybody out there, there are deals, or at least, you know, there are sales and pieces and bits of things out and about. You guys can check them out, scope out, see what's there, see what's useful or maybe useful to you. Example, if we kind of cherry pick around, there's some really neat stuff that you can find with regard to the SKS right now to the point where you can actually put a pretty decent package together. Now again, the SKS isn't 7.62x39, but there is plenty of aftermarket and existing inventory that's old inventory that's ready to roll, easy for you to get hold of and in the process, really can't beat the price and the package. 762x39 ammo is out there in good form with regard to the ball ammo, which would be my first choice. There are a number of sales on some of the 762x39 over ammo land, or forgive me, amoman.com, amoman.com, and then of course there is ammo land, that's another location, and then unammo.com. Take your pick of flavor and choice whatever your favorite guru is talking to about their locally Congratulations there. It's a wonderful idea. Whatever they're saying is great Now they're in a quandary because they can't say well mark stupid because he said this you're right So in other words, let's see what the buffoon says now that well case yours now you're everybody's gonna be listening to you buffoon Now, what are you gonna do? Well, yeah, yeah, well of course then pontificate accordingly. I don't have a problem with that but get in motion get things done. Get it out, you know, get it plugged in, down the road, and out of the way because there's a lot of things that need to be accomplished here, including getting our basic tactical loads up to spec. Okay? Yeah, somebody say thank you. With the SKS, again, the Zytel stocks that are out there, Zytel's a little heavier than some of the others that have come up, or they've come up with more recently. One of the reasons they have lightened the load on some of these stocks is that they are incorporating as was the case of one that our caller, Dar, mentioned. They have the five-point adjustable, forgive me, AR-15 type folding stock on the rear end of a SKS stock system. So they had to come up with a different mold and there's a different chip that was used. They skeletalized the inside to lighten it up a little bit more. But one of the reasons that I do like the older chote stocks, this is especially true of the Monte Carlo but also the straight stocks that they came up with, there were about four patterns back in the day and there were some folders, is if you're looking to create a heavy base platform and you want to free float the barrel, which isn't hard to do on an SKS block the way it's set up, you're still going to have to leave all your military parts in place. But you can do a pretty good job of cleaning it up in a very short period of time if there's even a need. And that's the basis for trying to tighten up the group on the SKS or any of the other gas-operated rifles that are out there, no matter your bulkheads. The whole idea here is minimal or minimizing contact with the barrel assembly so that there's little or no interference with the natural harmonic ripple that goes through the system. You can see this in a really hyper slow motion image of any kind. People are talking about how the AK barrel wobbles, all barrels wobble. I think that's what's rather comical is the AR-15 may do it differently, but in each case, based upon the design, they perform admirably. But they do have an energy pulse that travels through the weapon with every round discharged, every round that's fired. That's just the nature of the beast. But the SKS actually can be built into a really cool little mock, like I said, baby dragon off. 20 inch barrel. There are long flash hiders that were available that are actually the snap-on type. They were made by a couple of different companies, one out of Tennessee. Needless to say, actually I think still offers a couple different ones that are simple, you know, twist and clip to the front sight. The buttstock itself, the skeleton stocks, of course give you that SVD type appearance of a little baby dragon off. with the elevator for the cheekrest and the ability to even add additional buffer pads, you know, slash recoil pads to stretch out the length of the stock. Put the, we'll leave the standard 10 round magazine on it. You've got the basics, the basic system or basic print of the Dragunov. Optics, there are any number of different options of the SKS, but the most common and older one, which I prefer, is the dust cover mounted fixtures that were actually pretty streamlined. They were built up very well in the later stages, with a picatinny top rail in one, or with a thick set of rings, depending upon which company you bought from. All of them seem to work. I think I've got one or two or three or four of each on one SKS or another that we have in the inventory. I'm mad at how I bought them. I mean, back when people were playing with the S-cast and then they wanted a song because they wanted to get the next toy that was coming out back when weapons were cheap, cheap, cheap. Well, you get it with a chote stock, you get it with a scope, you get it maybe without a scope, you get it with a folding stock, maybe without a folding stock, and however it was configured, if it needed to be fixed because maybe somebody messed up on something, switch it back over to the original S-cast design if all else fails. Put it right back to original, but... Typically you could tweak it make them work and then just leave them away They were for future use when the time comes The big thing here again is the price is reasonable $250 now reading some of the other reviews from for instance of all places classic firearms They kind of explained that some of the weapons that came out well the stocks really were broken broken not just cracked broken That's at least a comment made by one or two So it's a mix or a grab bag from the bundle that apparently has been put out there for several of the different companies. Centerfire has them, classic firearms has them. Still no indication. I couldn't find anything that would tell us exactly where did these get imported from. Where did they find this big pile of Chinese SKS's? They're not from China, but they are SKS's and they are Chinese manufactured and many parts of them are machined, which is really cool, rather than just stamped. Which is stamped is not a problem. It's just that the machine is really, really, really desirable. for the purpose of quality and construction. Took more Chinese slave hours to make it to one way as opposed to the other. Anyway, as it stands... Go ahead, caller. Uh, Steffi. It's not about weapons. It's just... I just heard on the radio that Doug was passed. He was 103. You know what's funny? I just saw that too. You mentioned it and I just somebody had just sent me it in the scroll here for with something else It came up as a flash. I checked it out. I was like, oh, okay You know, what's weird about this? This is one of those things like Ernest Borgnine I recall Several years ago that he was declared dead It's weird, but I you know it's like Kirk Douglas is still alive. Wait a minute. They had Time magazine pieces and they had stuff about how horrible his health was and then I there was an announcement that he was dead. And she got through it. Yeah, it's one of those things that Larry would bring up, but I'm telling you it's like I remember three different times watching the television and there were they it was like Ernest Portnite is dead. It's like oh OK. Well, that's that's bad. And then all of a sudden it's what a decade later and. or the board nine is passed away the fact that i come here i recall when he passed away before with kurt douglas i think it's been about a decade ago which you put him at one ninety three so it's like me to say somehow they were talking about how horribly ill he was and how everybody was so sad because he was losing his capacity you know his faculties and you know that it had any passed away and all the fed now it's like you're saying he's still alive It's 103 and well, it's again not bad. I mean, I remember what he was a bugger in some ways. Most people don't realize that there. If you look at some of the stuff that his background, he was very rabidly anti gun. Did you know that? I did not. Chris Douglas was one of those actors who stepped up during the gun control act of 6768. He was up there on the stage telling everybody how we needed to get the guns in America. In fact, he was on the Tonight Show with Gregory Peck. Kirk Douglas and Charlton Heston and they were all pushing the gun control act of 68 in 1967. Well, it wasn't that hilarious considering the organization was not really film. Yeah, they all really enjoyed playing with guns in the theater making money off it. given the judge yeah but you evil peasants go ahead call it go to the person are you think irk douglas was uh... opposed to get them yes or are you correct douglas uh... gregory peck and charlton heston there's an actual episode of the tonight show where they came up and they were talking about how they had the need for the gun control active that what would become the gun control act of nineteen sixty eight whether we're pushing in the sixty seven My wife just told me that Kirk Douglas died and for me it's the second time. Yeah, well, that's what I just said. You're just gonna It might even be the third, but I'm telling you, I recall that they were telementing about how terrible it was, and then there was a couple of weeks, and it was Kirk Douglas had passed away. It was five years after. It's been a decade ago. It was back in 90, he'd be 93. Yeah, there was a movie called Saturn III he made. It was sci-fi with Farrah Fawcett majors. They both got naked in it, sci-fi horror type thing, and five years after that he passed. It's one of these Mandela effect things. It's crazy as hell. The only one I remember is still alive now that hasn't died twice for me is Betty White. She passed and she's still here. And when she goes, that'll be the second time for her, for me. But I've seen Billy Graham, Gene Wilder, Muhammad Ali, Jim Nabors. He died of throat cancer from AIDS before he suddenly was alive and married to a man again. You know, this is crazy, Mark. This is crazy. Well, again, maybe I just, we were just hoping he was dead. I mean, I don't know. But it's interesting if he did survive this long, 103, okay, let's just say if that number is real, and it's supposed to be, from the perspective of government hates it when you live a long time, then that was a good spiteful thing. On the other hand, like I said, Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas, those were the two that were frothing into mouth about getting the guns, and they were all making these snide comments. Of course, now understand that all of them had a gun collection. That's what I think is really cute about this. All these characters that were all sitting there were all people who, oh, they themselves, they had, like, like, Heston had machine guns. But back before he became the quote-unquote president, well, way before, this was back in the 60s. These characters were up on the stage, all three of them together, on the Tonight Show, in an episode where they were, you know, it was getting serious, because, you know, we just gotta get the guns. And by the way, they were doing the psycho babble thing that they, because they didn't get that in 67. Now they've waited long enough, they figure we've got everybody dumbed down enough they can keep plugging it in. They're all hypocrites. I mean, Boxer and Fine Swine, they've got gun permits and bodyguards, just like Bloomberg. Bloomberg. Remember, it's Blum. Actually, we're going to call him Bloomberg because of that, because he tried to do the Jewish guilt thing the other day, where, you know, it's not Bloomberg, it's Blumberg. And okay, when have you ever heard him say or correct anybody when they've been talking about him on the air? Never. Never. So it's like all of a sudden this is so important because it's that Jewish put you on the defensive thing. Oh, you're not using my right name. Don't you know? I did know that about Gregory Peck that he was a waving liberal but did not know about Heston. Well, it was all three. They were all three together at the same time. This was not separate events. This is where they were there for the purpose of. promoting the gun, what would become the Gun Control Act of 1968. And there is a video, I mean the copy should be on the tonight, it was, you know, the Johnny Carson, before that, before Johnny Carson was also, come on, what was his name? uh... barely i remember it but we don't be before johnny carston with the tonight show there was another the other host before johnny carston johnny carston became dominant that of course we have jay leo coming to came in and he kinda picked up on you know who's in i don't know who's on the tight show three with the tonight show exists right now to be quite honest but the fact of matter is that uh... this is one of those episodes where they used to actually pull it out every once in a while because, you know, it was like, well, these guys are for gun control and you need to be too. And it was like, ah, okay. Well, they're actors, you know, I don't care. Okay, go ahead. We'll, we have to jump in it. Mike from Ohio. I was really disappointed to learn the other day that Jimmy Stewart, who was a rural stalwart Republican and an anti-communist back in the day, he suddenly came out. for the gun control act of sixty eight was making his rounds with the other guys you mentioned and they always said always because he he was friends with bobby kennedy or something and that's why but yeah i i never really had heard that before bob against buskangs because i know a lot of guys who drive buskangs and so i can't see why you should have a mustang and all one I'm Jimmy Stork, and I say this, you know, somebody who was, everybody uses it when they use the whole argument, oh, I know somebody who's killed with a gun. I know people who are killed with cars. I don't see how you can get behind a steering wheel after you see what goes on on the American highways, how you should even dare to be so, you know, so arrogant that you would just casually sit in your car and not first beg for forgiveness for driving a car. The casualties of a masked and say the piles of bodies, piles. Blah blah blah blah blah. You see? I can take, once you can take anything, once you come at it from that direction, there isn't anything you can't take from somebody that way. You ever think about that guys? How many things do you co-handle that you're supposed to apologize for because some other humble screw messed it up? You know, they try to ban swimming pools, but at least they just make you feel guilt-ridden about them to a degree. But not too much because they want to sell more swimming pools. But do we really need a swimming pool? Who needs a swimming pool? Where is there a need for a swimming pool? Where is there a need for a fast car? For that matter, aren't cars driving too fast? Shouldn't we be driving a lot slower? And if it costs you more time of your life to get from point A to point B? I mean, for everybody else who's, you know, really frantic and chewing on their toenails, shouldn't we drop everybody back to 25 or 35 miles an hour maximum speed? What do you need to go faster for? Besides, if we keep you all pinned up in the cities, you don't need to go any faster, do you? But a swimming pool is so convenient for drowning the, uh, the women. Well, no, that's the bridge with Mary Jokepekny and, you know, the Kennedys. The other Kennedys that Bobby, Jimmy Stewart wouldn't be talking about. I knew Bobby Kennedy. Yeah, but you knew Teddy too, didn't you? Well, yeah. You didn't get in a car with him ever again, did you? Hey Mark. Go ahead, we got another caller. Jump in there. What do we have? Hey, it's Phyllis. Didn't Steve Allen have a tonight show before Johnny Carson? I think you're right. I just have to double check. It's been so long, Ed. Steve Allen was in there. But I'm trying to think there was another... Although Steve Allen wore glasses. Yes, there was another one before him. Yeah, well, it's again, it's been a pass the baton thing. But it was during the... I'm pretty sure that was when... I guess it was the 1966, 1967. I think that's Carson at that point, but I could be wrong. Go ahead, call her, jump in there. It was a Jack Parr in there too. Yeah, Parr. That makes sense. Yeah. So again, um, whoa. That was the guy before Carson. Then that would have, it would either be, it would either be Parr or Carson. And forgive me, it's him. The only reason I can remember this, because there was some really weird, they won't say weird shots, but you know, normally when they do the Tonight Show, they keep it on the stage. You know what I mean? In other words, all the camera shots are always with, you know, the audience is not in the foreground. Very seldom do they do that. Do you see that on Saturday Night Live shots? You know, and stuff that they do with other live programming. But with the tonight show, they try to keep it to a degree personal, so they keep it up on the stage. Now, you do shots sometimes, or you go off to the audience. and you might very seldom traditionally did they go over to the band. They did go over the band, but it'd be a sidebar thing like, let's go over to the other room for a minute. And it would be just turning the camera. But typically they try to keep it close in. That's why it's, you know, especially most people listening at night, they're in their bedroom, they're getting ready to go to bed, they watch the Tonight Show before they go to sleep. So you keep it close and personal that way. That was the purpose behind doing that. But what was weird about that particular episode that really jumped out at me because of camera angles, is the shot that you most commonly see that is used as a sound bite is straight out, and I would say probably six months, got to be more than that, 10 or 12 rows into the audience. And the picture is where you even got a little bit of a brush of the side of the area where the main speakers are, because the band's off to the left. and the curtains off to the right, which is where everybody walked in from. Well, the shot is weird because it's level on with the stage. And so you actually have like what is a very rare, like a theatrical view, like if you're going to a play, rather than the way they try to always project the set. And that's what jumped out at me about that one, because the three of them are sitting side by side. They weren't using the couch arrangement. In fact, each one was given like their own chair, like a lounge chair, but like modernized. You know, modernized. Not with real puffy arms and everything. I pictured this like it was yesterday. And it's one of those things where, you know, these characters, like I said, they were doing the Dog and Pony show because the actors want you to disarm. You just need to disarm because the Jewish actors want you to disarm. And if the Jewish actors don't get you to disarm, then they'll kill somebody. You know, that's really the angle that they, you have to understand that really they're pushing. So again, thank you very much, somebody else's, there we go. The, let's see, couple of the things here, you know, it's rather fascinating. Something else is going on right now where we've got like another little click out there. Pay attention to something. I just, I've caught onto this a couple times. Of course it tells you that there's, you know, you've got characters locally that are spit-swappers that are, of course, anything to be contrary to whatever you say. And that's especially true when I say something, okay, with some of the people that I run into. And you're just like, yeah, whatever it would be to be opposite. But that way you can tell who your enemies are, too. Well, what's fascinating is, how many of you, okay, think about this, but let's just step back. How many of you have had a good idea about what's going on in Virginia from the get-go? Because you're kind of up to speed, you have independent media sources, you're in the social media. I mean, guys, in November we knew Virginia was going on, right? I want you to think about that. There are people who are saying, well, there's nothing going on in Virginia, there's nothing, there's nothing, there's nothing. I had somebody go, I was told, I was told that there's nothing. I said, what do you mean you were told? I said, did you do any investigating yourself? I was told, now what's fascinating is this is the clique. You've got part, and in the Patriot movie you have this, that's where this is coming from. But they're not really in the Patriot movie. You've got this clique that have been doing this garbage like this for years. They typically work for the cops or the Fed. and they're the connection so well i'm gonna go to my cop buddy or i'm gonna go to a car yeah your police state buddy well you just need to ignore anything that said okay well uh... this is all being done by the virginia government so it will go to crazy patriot type really bowl but that's the virginia government that's doing this right now and both sides of the virginia government are in this fight So the people have to step back and scratch their arson and you can see them going into brain fart because they've obviously been, somebody is making the circuit lying about what's going on and they've been eating the dog vomit, which I think is rather fascinating because as we know it's not just happening in one state and this is what's interesting and I won't not run into this a lot, but I've run into it a couple times in the last few days. And I pay attention to body language and facial expressions, and then they go on a brain fart because you laugh at them. Because I do. I seriously, you know I do. Okay, I don't even think twice anymore. It's like, well, only an idiot, an incompetent fool, would have done the investigative investigation to kind of figure out what's going on. But, I mean, most anybody who's not controlled by the controlled media... and knows that this stuff started back in November. And how is it that everybody has so diligently been trying to exclude this in the control press, and who else would be trying to make sure that people didn't know about what was going on? Who would be trying to keep everybody else from checking, you know, checking something like that out, and perhaps then being caught flat-footed? That wouldn't be a friendly step. If somebody were doing that, they'd be doing it so they could screw the people that they're telling not to investigate. Anybody catch on to that? And then you watch everybody freeze. The ones that are actually in the little clique. The others are like, oh yeah, I know what you mean, but they're not really up to what you're saying. It's that EF Hutton moment where you watch your enemies. They're not, they're not, well, let's put it this way. We're in a quandary right now because a lot of people in the odds were all told how the patriot movement's evil, but the cops are your buddy. and the cops this and the cops that and all the way and you know what will the mocops in the militia and stuff is like really well let me ask you what do you think what do you think was telling everybody or what do you think was getting the classes on who the enemy of the state is with the veterans and people are constitutional and people are into the bill of rights and those are all the enemies and these characters are going along with the creatures who were pumping that Of course, now we're looking at barefaced, open, you know, attempting to confiscate gun stuff, and they're listening to the people who have been lying to them all along, using them like schmucks. And now it's like, well, guys, the argument is really between elements of the government of Virginia and also other elements across the country. And we're like the third party off to the side of it. We're like looking at it from the other, we're the other part. but not part of what's been going on as far as, you know, from within the internal workings that developed, you know, everybody finally brought to light. Everybody's pointed to and said, okay, here's what's going on. Just something to think about there. I mean, I already know who the skunks are in the community. You know, I'm telling you where you go, you always pay attention. But the skunks right now are really doing some bizarre stuff like they're trying to make sure that all of the numb nuts are, you know, staying numb. And, well, supposedly thinking that they're pro-gun, or not even really being pro-gun, but all being stagnant and not having a clue, and whoever their handlers are, are making sure it stays that way so that they'll be caught that much more flat-footed when the time comes. And again, pay attention. Otherwise, just a sidebar. I'm watching, and again, they don't realize, like I said, I'm the audience. Anybody, you can all do the same thing. Watch how people respond when you, instead of being, oh, I'm going to really be worried about trying to make somebody into a convert. It's more like, well, whoever it is that isn't up to speed, you've got to be an idiot, incompetent, or a fool for not actually investigating it themselves. And you really are going to look stupid when something does go down. And, yeah, for whatever reason, you drank the Kool-Aid. As I laugh. Hahahaha. Cause I'm not supposed to laugh, I'm supposed to be incensed or something. It's like, I'm not, I'm not even in that mode anymore, sorry. Don't even know it for the most part. You know, if you're up, if you're online, you're online, and if not, you've already been brought to the trough, you ain't gonna, if you don't have a clue, I can't do anymore, and I'm not gonna worry about it. Any other people are listening, and other people will be ready. Just that simple. There'll be way more that are gonna be ready than the others at Again, our stagnant. So, one last thing. Well, actually, no, we're at the bottom of the hour. We've got more of time. Somebody's asking again, so I'm going to put that out here for everybody. Tazewell County. Now, Tazewell County is in the middle of every, and the forefront of every step of what's gone on in Virginia, for those who aren't familiar. And, of course, the Governor of West Virginia has given everybody a solution to dealing with Richmond, which is in a way not having to deal with Richmond. Okay? So real quick here, one more time. News 5 W-C-Y-B. That's W-C-Y-B.com. You go over there. The story is Tazewell County to have open discussion about exiting Virginia at meeting on Tuesday. This is day by WCYB, Tuesday, February 4th, 2020. Okay, 2020. Tasswell County, Virginia. After Citizens Rees Southport vexed it, the Tasswell County Board of Supervisors meeting will have an open discussion about the county leaving the Commonwealth and becoming part of West Virginia. News 5 was told by the county office that Vice Chairman Tom Lester requested that the discussion be added to the agenda because several citizens have contacted, not contacted him about VEXET. There are no plans currently for Tazewell County to leave Virginia, but Tuesday's agenda item should allow for citizens to voice their opinions. West Virginia Governor Jim Justice, Republican, and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. both have urged unhappy Virginia counties to secede. The push for secession has come after Democrats took control of both the Virginia House and the Senate. Tazewell County Board of Supervisors meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday, which was last night. Yesterday, by the way, while we were doing the program, uh... that's when they were meeting which is kind of cool that you know between five and six i'm sure they were in the height of whatever they were doing there there are a number of other articles i didn't get a chance to pull all of them up basically they're like reinforcing that uh... this was not to uh... decide to leave the county but discussions about the option with a back that solution now one of the things i would point out that we have been to be more motivated to do is if they're not a contiguous county to the state of West Virginia, while you might make a decision yourself to do that, you know, leave, what you want is to try to get as many counties that are in line with so you have a contiguous line of counties reaching to the state of West Virginia and creating an interesting subdivision of the state, which you could actually cut the state in two, which would be kind of bizarre, but it could happen. And so just little heads up there where the auditors are going to follow through on doing it. Right now they're talking about it. That's good. Keep the conversation up. They need to do that. And it would be- No doubt Virginia will say, you can't do that. And they'll threaten to use force to stop it. Right. And then again, let's put it this way. They really are going to have a tough time because you see the Fed backed up West Virginia breaking away from Virginia. And the machine for doing it was never retired. In fact, I'm sure they did that because they didn't want to bring any more attention to it than they already had about whether or not it was legitimate. Now, if they start to make too much noise, then we'll get back to the old argument of, well, West Virginia isn't legitimate in the first place because it shouldn't have pulled away from Virginia. But they allowed it because of their orchestrations of the Civil War. Now, I can see this continuing at an interesting pace, and if enough of the western counties really got serious, at the very least they should do it as a political slash demonstration. They can be taught in talks forever. They can be in conversation with West Virginia all that they want. There's nothing illegal about that. And if I were them, I would. I'd press it. It's one of the many political tools that they have that other states don't have. Now, we can, you know, again, break off like the there are several different elemental parts of the different states that who had to do this uh... yet uh... in california you have to say uh... we almost had the breakaway and uh... december of nineteen forty one if the japanese had the pack remember uh... jefferson would have taken place in nineteen in late nineteen forty one or early nineteen forty two if you guys know the history of uh... you know jefferson of the state of jefferson Guys, it's not a new thing. It goes back to before World War II. And interestingly enough, they were in motion to work towards it. And it was, the kickoff was almost just exactly when Pearl Harbor took place, which kind of put the kibosh everybody put on the back burner, because now all of a sudden we're at war, and it was a surprise war, and we had to go kill the, you know, the Japanese, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and the rest is history. So heads up there. But with Virginia, they're one of the most unique. The element states that as far as construction goes, any that are out there, the three most unique are California, Texas, and then again, Virginia with West Virginia is the issue. Of the three, each one is unique. In fact, so unique that they stand alone. The only other one that's kind of oddball is actually, well, Michigan. We're a goofy thing, only because if you look at, we have two peninsulas, the upper and the lower. logic would dictate that we would never have gotten the Upper Peninsula. In fact, if you look, there's a state there called Wisconsin, and it would have made more sense that, you know, that just that whole jut right there would have gone, you know, right across all the way to Canada, which, you know, Wisconsin from one end where it touches Canada across Lake Superior, all the way to the locks. But it didn't do that. It's because of the politics of warfare inside the United States, which is what we always joke about. You know, Ohio and Michigan went to war. the lodge, the Masonic Lodge of Ohio, was fighting with the Masonic Lodge of Michigan over who was going to get the lay-line property of Toledo. And the big fight, really, although they want you to believe it was just over that strip of land because Toledo was commerce, well, anybody can go up and down the river. And it's nice that you had that little dot on the map called Toledo, but we got Detroit right upriver and we got 100 other places that were just as good a porting facility. So what was so critical about Toledo had to do with the Masonic Lodge and Ley Lines. Michigan already had Kalamazoo, which was well within Michigan's theater of operation or control. Toledo was something that would give Ohio what would they consider a prestige point. It's where the lodge has one of its printing companies, printing presses you're not supposed to know about. It's where they also have one of their jewelry makers for their, you know, their sphere jewelry that isn't marked anything for anybody or made for their own use and that's it. So anyway, Virginia would be interesting to see what happens with Virginia and West Virginia. Otherwise, let's see, what else do we have? Hold on, I just got some coffee here. Hold on, smell? This is my break. you up in the morning, lads. There we go. Excellent cup of coffee. So, next, real quick, Weapons Wednesday, we were talking about body armor. Where can you get used body armor? Well, there are actually a lot of spots that are around the country, but you need to ask. In fact, I have not done this, but with a lot of the body armor companies that are not so new, they actually have turn-ins or used equipment. used armor. Now they usually sell it sideways one point or another, but here's the thing, if something is like tired or worn, they may cannibalize it. Now, one of the things taken into consideration is maybe asking to see what's out there. The other option is to actually go to like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist. We just picked up some Kevlar helmets for, I mean real ones, regular US military, not Chinese copy, you know, knock off plastic ones. for fifteen dollars apiece i had a had a handful of they had uh... everything on board everything ready or ready to go squared away uh... the same with with uh... pathgap body armor uh... thirty five dollars and thirty dollars a vast other stuff like that it shows up constantly in both of the ball all those venues ebay facebook marketplace and also craigslist Now Facebook Marketplace, this is one of the reasons you just want to get on Facebook. Lie about all the information, put up a bunch of pictures that mean nothing. In other words, put photos up there that are totally irrelevant, like, you know, to anybody or anything that you know. And then get in there just to use Facebook Marketplace, because there's a lot of material and equipment that comes through. And if you're looking for yet another venue, though I think the big thing is that with Facebook Marketplace, uh... at least at this time starting out a lot more people are doing a better job with photo essays so you don't have to go anywhere you got like ten you know twelve pictures of an object you can decide whether or not you want to bother with it from that point forward which does help a lot saves time for the person trying to sell it and for the person trying to buy it uh... big thing i've got a lot of radio communications out of there and a lot of body armor i've got friends appointed right to in the outfitted completely from Private collections one guy had over on the east side of the state towards the palm had nine Kevlar vests and he had a pile of helmets the helmets he was willing to part for $10 for Kevlar Pascat got every last one on 30 some of them total and The vests were $20 apiece now. We also bought some other stuff over there He had some other steel armor not for wearing but for vehicles and we all sent it up with some Kevlar armor from off a... Oh, come on, what was it? A Hemet? Frontal armor, frontal chin armor. And it was kind of neat because it was just odds and ends pieces he got as part of one of the government auctions. There's a lot of guys that bought this government auction stuff and they don't know what to do with it. They got it because they thought it would be wonderful and they probably got what they wanted out of the deal, but they've also got the other junk they had to take with it. and they aren't interested. They may have had an interest for a vehicle or maybe a machine that they bought and they wanted the other parts. Well, you take everything in the pile and then start the difference and sell what you don't need. It's real simple. Straightforward, straight, straightforward math. Anyway, other stuff going on here real quick on the having to do with the body armor. There are a number of different Kevlar or steel helmets of the more modern patterns. The militia helmet that's out there right now, which is steel, there's some exceptional videos of. You might want to take a look at that. They're actually testing, trying to test a failure so far, but what I've seen, it's kind of like a high point curve beam. The helmet seems to be holding up better than they anticipated, even for multiple hits in the same location, which I think is impressive. I'd still ring your guard and you probably have a bit of a headache, but... at least your head wouldn't be a canoe, which maybe at least an open casket funeral, right? The other thing somebody was asking about, and it is out there, is, well, is there face armor, for instance? Oh, hell yeah, there's all kinds of face armor. You can get all kinds of bizarre stuff that they've built. Some of it makes sense, some of it not so much. If you're the front man, having more stuff in front of your soft, chewy points is probably a good thing. In fact, it is a good thing. Not all of it is that practical. I would point out that while there was a lot of that stuff available even in World War One, you got lost in combat because the guys wearing it were up front and a lot of times, you know, they got taken out and nobody recovered it. And so the Germans ended up with some of the British and American stuff or French. And the French and the Germans, you know, French had the German goodies and the Belgians got some of the German goodies and it was a mishmash. but even though there was a lot of it demonstrated and there was a percentage it was always bought under contract uh... it didn't serve because again it was re-resteal armor that could stop rifle rounds well back then it was eight millimeter mouser eight millimeter lapel and thirty-odd six and three oh three british and those are high high-powered rifle by comparison what you're carrying in a two two three gun okay big beasty bullets and they actually had to make the armor and capable of stopping that, which means if you think your 25-pound bag of dog food was heavy, imagine the girth and thickness of what they were wearing to stop a not six-round back in the day. Can't run real fast with that. That's why you don't see many of the troops in any of the images that you see. I mean, we're talking real images, not Hollywood. If you look at a lot of the real combat imagery, you don't see that much of the thousands and thousands and thousands and tens of thousands of troops that were photographed, most of them are all dead after the first year, because they killed millions in a year. Don't forget that. But the fact is that when you look at all the images, try to pick out how many places where you see upgraded or heavy-faced armor and steel-plate shield armor and, you know, breast armor, it's there. I mean, it was out there, but it was very specialized. And for the most part, it didn't really, you know, fit the environment. It didn't work well. So, again, not only, not the least of which is you're running across the dark side of the moon, you know, no man's land. Smelled like, you know, rotted dead human beings and horses and dong and everything else because that's exactly what it was where they were killing people over in the same area and churning bodies and churning bodies and body parts and blood and guts and everything else. Well, that was probably not too hot an area to run across, even without... to 35, 40 or 50 pounds of metal. What do you think? I remember seeing pictures of a, what they called a brow plate. It was formed to go the front of a German helmet for snipers. They have to keep them from getting spotted. Oh yeah, well you know, that gets back to think the same way, but remember what we were talking about, I talked about the two-hour block about Kevlar armor plating, or Kevlar football armor. Uh, or even, you know, here's the other thing we did this year's ago. I've got to dig it out because we were playing around. When I used to get the tonnage of surplus of scrap, I'd get your, it'd be scrap clothing, it'd be helmets, it could be everything. Well, I did a bunch of the helmet lots and people wondered why I was paying, initially they wondered why I was paying about another $40 per watt for steel helmets. Except then some of them noticed when I was offloading the pallet bins with the steel helmets, In the bottom, it was all full of Kevlar helmets. And if you didn't look down inside and actually pay attention, you would know that. So I was willing to pay another $40 for six pallet bins of helmets because, than everybody else did, because in the bottom were, oh, probably 20, 30 Kevlar helmets worth a lot more than that, $40. Now, every once in a while we get one that was damaged. So what we did is we cut, what I did is we thermal cut. Since the back of the helmet was crushed, it was fractured in the rear. What we did is I cut the helmet right where the temple is and went up straight with that cut and gave it a little bit of a dollop. And you know, I mentioned this before. What we did is we created a face armor where the brim, instead of the brim, you know, you got the brim that comes down from above with the Pascat helmet by flipping this around and creating a snap hanger for the other panel. You had this little ledge area, kind of like a gork helmet in a way, but it was more like the traditional 16th century cavalry or infantry officers' helmets. If you take a look at the stuff from the Lowland Wars, you'll see a lot of examples of this, the chin, but instead of it just being sheet metal, it was Kevlar. The neat thing is that you have just a visor area, so to speak, a slit area, which is more enough to give you a good panoramic view and not lose any of your vision for the most part. But by applying a couple of dot snaps and creating the straps from the junk that we had there and then cutting everything down, we made a full throat cover, face cover, and came up to the nose, of course, right about parallel with the tip of your nose, so that your eyes could do all the work without you moving your head much to be able to see. The other thing that we did is took the back panel or the side panels and actually increased the amount of armor on one of the regular Pascad helmets that way. Now the part that was crushed couldn't do anything with, but so you had to kind of sculpt it. But the big thing is it may have to match the arch and everything. You don't want a dead space or you don't want a whole lot of hollow underneath the plate from one to the other. But it would work. It still did. So those are neat things you could do scavenging off other pieces of equipment or battlefield debris when the time comes. And you could kind of build your own without any problem if you're willing to just do a little for, you know, a little thinking, a little bit of, you know, step-by-step process of elimination. Does this work? Doesn't this work? And it would get the job done. Adding additional plates to the helmets, that's what the Russians did. Only kind of a reversal. Remember, the Russians kept their little, you know, steel pots that they'd had through the Cold War. What's interesting, if you pay attention, you'll see this, they made a Kevwire soft cover that you put over top of the existing steel pot, and you laced that all into play, and that was their first upgrade to a very, very much improved head cover for the Russian army for the longest time. And of course, came into service at the end of, middle to the end of the Cold War, actually, to the end of the 80s and, you know, into the 90s. And then, as we see now, they've completely upgraded or improved their own personal designs, and they have their own versions of these types of either solid steel, Kevlar-type helmets for their security forces and for their regular military. So everybody's pretty much on the same page right now. But that was another laminate solution. You have an older steel piss pot. You take, uh, and have a new cloth cover made that holds with pockets the kevlar that you want to have around the helmet. And now you've improved dramatically the defense potential of that armor. And it's laminate too, so it actually, you know, may do a little better than you might have been than you can imagine. Just something to think about there. It's already been done and it works. They've already made it work. You could too. So nothing is scrap. Remember, somebody gets a snot shot out of them or they get chewed up because some of this is so big that the body armor doesn't slow it down. That body armor doesn't go to waste. Okay, that by fact, everything, we don't wait until we're short and then desperate. From the get go, you need to be looking at how are we going to turn around anything that's in the field that might be damaged or how can we repurpose it to make our system more effective, to protect our people better or to fight better in general. And again, as the ball fails, think about this, get those Kevlar, uh, to get that Kevlar off those corpses and, uh, put it out in front of your fighting position. Cover it up with sod. You got layers of Kevlar in addition to sandbags to help, or, you know, protect you. You can also put them on the inner panel of the, uh, behind the sandbags between you and the sandbags. And that becomes a Kevlar blanket so that if anything gets through the sandbag material, that what the kevlar the old shot up kevlar best finished the uh... observing the energy before it ever gets to you but you don't leave it on bodies you don't be doesn't get buried doesn't go into the ground you wipe off the the crowd whatever is on it scrape it off wash it down if you can't go that stuff going to think that it rots don't forget that anyway um... the next on the list there will you have the other one you went out more dot com so because i mentioned a rattle off a whole list of names amo man dot com with the first one i mentioned there's some seven six two by thirty nine and five five six deals there right now amo man m a m amo man dot com and you and amo of course they've added a few more things last few days that kind of all the people i've been in ammunition in the country He's down in Arizona and the guy who's got that business is wheeling and dealing all the time. He has stuff that comes and goes constantly in good numbers. I personally believe he's dealing with the Mexican government. He's buying stuff south of the border, bringing it into the country, and then selling it accordingly. But some of the stuff that you just haven't seen for a while can also be from private collections. Again, this is a way to acquire what you need where if you're looking for those orphan rounds, you're looking for whatever it is that you might be short, you need a source, unamo.com is always pretty cool in that respect. And I would point out that pretty useful. Again, somebody says, well, as a matter of fact, www.unamo.com, unamo.com, there we go. As a matter of fact, 7.62x54R, somebody was asking me about this, now I see you mentioned ammo cans of 440 rounds. Yes. Now, many of the companies have that in stock right now, but UNAMMO just got a small batch of the stuff in. If you go over to UNAMMO.com, UNAMMO.com, and scroll down, you'll find the 440 round tens, ham tens of 7.62x54R. If you have the Nagat or if you have any of the Tokarev rifles or the Dragunov slash Knokov, the PSLs, etc., then this is a solution. Another thing is he is a real good source for mag tech. So if you are into, for instance, well, like right now, although, man, this pisses me off. Why the hell would a, okay, 44 Smith and Wesson Special. This is something that gets me. I got just a minute here. I'm gonna great 44 Smith and Wesson special cowboy load 240 grain flat nose lead. OK, that's the cheapest thinking bullet you could imagine and the difference between 44 Smith and Wesson special and 44 Magnum is what about an eighth of an inch? The whole idea behind us just like 357 and 38 special. And yet it's more expensive for 44 special ammunition. And this is where the punk lead bullet. We're not even talking anything special here. In fact, well, it's cheaper by a few dollars, which is ridiculous, but I get 44 Remington Mag. Here it is, right on top of it, from the same company. It really pisses me off. 44 Remington Mag, 240 grain SJSP. That's a jacketed soft point bullet. That costs a hell of a lot more to make. Okay, buy Magtech 1,000 rounds for $624 delivered to your door. Now here's some 44 special cowboy 240 grain L flat load by magtech. 1000 rounds for $639. That 44 special should be about $100 to $150 cheaper than the 44 Magnum load. Number one, the cowboy load is going to be low range. It's not going to be hot. Number two, it's a lead mullet. It's a cast lead mullet. The other one's a jacketed soft point. And yet we're talking, it's more expensive, although at least the differential is not quite as extreme here. But the 44, as far as making 44 Smith & Wesson special brass guys, all you do is dial down the trimmer and or dial down your, first of all, you're going to use the right die, but your trimmer is not going to lose too much in the process. Probably the best example here, again, they've got, although at least it's not as bad. They've got some cellar below 45 long colt, 250 grain LFN, 600 rounds for $290. It's not quite as bad as that other one, but it is S&B, which is why it's checkmate ammunition. And if you've got a 45 long colt, or if you do have a 44 Smith & Wesson special, they do have quantities over at UNAMMO.COM both of them will work. I have no problem with the cowboy loads because it's a big freight train bullet coming at you. But what gets me is it should be cheaper. It should be. But you know how that is. Well, again, there's a couple different loads for the 43. Because they can. Yeah, because they can. No, because there's a cowboy load and they got a cowboy picture on the outside of the box. That's why. Because it looks antique. You know, it's like, really? That doesn't do anything for me either. Also, in the other exotic rounds or odd rounds, they do have some good PPU ammunition for you guys who have the NEGA revolvers. Fresh ammunition, brand new out of the box, PPU. 500 rounds for $255 delivered to your door. Those revolvers are pretty well gone now, and now they're in the collectors range. But if you brought them back when they were those really, really, really, really cheap revolvers that were coming in, remember? then it's worthwhile. One other thing here before we go, S&B, white box, military spec, NATO, 9mm NATO, 1000 rounds, $224 delivered to your door. Okay. Contains primer and bullet sealant. Okay, these are actually done to mil-spec where they've actually sealed the bullet primer and apparently the canelier too. So that's the old mill spec or standard mill spec what used to be which is higher spec, okay? This is the 124 grain contains blue primer sealant which for SMB means a little higher pressure to make it fall into the NATO spec. Head stamp is 9 by 19, SMB 18 with a NATO cross packed in 50 round boxes. I would point out that if this is hot it's also really good for any of you guys who are running like car beans like the high point. or if you're doing any of the MPs that are out there, any of the nines that are out there, this would be a good choice for you if you were looking for something that's going to have a little more bite. 124 grains and it's ball. So that's $224 for a thousand rounds, not a bad price. So anyway, enough on that. We're almost to the top of the hour here for everybody out there. Appreciate all of the donations. Thank you. We've had a few come in here just recently again. It is going to be busy. We do have the 15th down in The 15th down in, hold on here, let me go, wait a minute. Last minute, don't do this to me. I've got another, okay, we do have the photographs from the reconnaissance up in the middle of the state. We have the Canadians deploying on a regular basis, and it's not just a training deployment. We're finding ammunition, caches, and other activities. Hillsdale, Michigan is where we're going to have the next event on the 15th. We'll touch on that again tomorrow and keep the authority of the archives. And again, that will be on the 15th. Coming in, everybody's in motion with a sanctuary issue. Well, I forget, results or resolution issues, what they want to do. Just fine by me. God bless our republic. 15, you are in order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The empire's on the run. And we're on the march, both day and night. Kill them all. The Hilltail Mission gets 75,000, 6 p.m. on February 15th. All welcome to Pure Michigan. Again, that's in 75 North Broad Street, Fortinine and 242. We'll see you on Michigan 6pm February 15th. More LTR coming up tomorrow.
